You know the formula m over naught equals infinity, m being any positive number? [m/0 = ]. Well, why not reduce the equation to a simpler form by multiplying both sides by naught? In which case you have m equals infinity times naught [m = x 0]. That is to say, a positive number is the product of zero and infinity. Doesn't that demonstrate the creation of the Universe by an infinite power out of nothing? Doesn't it?" Aldous Huxley, Point Counter Point, (1928), Chapter XI.

Our lives, from the personal to the communal, from the communal to the international, from the biological and physical to the economic and even to the ethical, are increasingly mathematicized.

  • 'Saratoga Springs Satellite Reef' Expands with In- Person and Online
    For immediate release ‘Saratoga Springs Satellite Reef’ expands with in- person and online crochet programs SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY (July 22, 2021) — The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College, which reopened to the public on July 10, is expanding its programming for the Saratoga Springs Satellite Reef to include in-person and online events. Scores of crafters and the craft-curious have already met online to crochet corals, and now participants will be able to meet in person. The first in-person event is a craft circle at the Museum on Saturday, July 31, from 2 to 4 p.m. The Saratoga Springs Satellite Reef is part of the worldwide Crochet Coral Reef project by Christine and Margaret Wertheim and the Institute For Figuring. The Saratoga Springs Satellite Reef, which will be on view at the Tang in the exhibition Radical Fiber starting January 29, 2022, will be made up of creations crocheted by members of the public, either working on their Irish Satellite Reef at Science Gallery (Dublin), own or through the Tang’s public programs. photo © Institute For Figuring For the Saratoga Springs Satellite Reef, anyone can participate by crocheting hyperbolic structures, referring to an area of geometry whose crocheted models mimic coral-like ruffles. The project draws on the long historical connections, especially in the United States, between fiber practice and community building, and will connect hobby crafters, art professionals, and novice crocheters from Skidmore, Saratoga Springs, and global communities. Download the PDF brochure How to Crochet Hyperbolic Corals, which includes patterns for a variety of corals.

Critters interpenetrate one another, loop around and through one another, eat each another, get indigestion, and partially digest and partially assimilate one another, and thereby establish sympoietic arrangements that are otherwise known as cells, organisms, and eco- logical assemblages. Sym-poiesis is a simple word; it means “making-with.” Nothing makes itself; nothing is really auto-poietic or self-organizing. In the words of the Iñupiat computer “world game,” earthlings are Never Alone.2 That is the radical implication of sympoiesis. Sympoiesis is a word proper to complex, dynamic, responsive, situated, historical systems. It is a word for worlding. M25 M26 ● Donna Haraway Another word for these sympoietic entities is holobionts, or, ety- mologically, “entire beings” or “safe and sound beings.”3 That is decid- edly not the same thing as One and Individual.

While on campus, Wertheim will engage audiences with building The Steward School Satellite Reef and increasing public awareness of distressed coral reefs, which are an essential part of our global ecosystem but are disappearing as environmental and human impacts threaten their survivability. Participants will learn through a citizen science project how the worlds of science, math, conservation, and arts are bringing awareness to our ocean ecosystem. Wertheim will host a series of workshops, and there will be a Fiber Arts & Science Fair; all events are FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. Wertheim has built an international following dedicated to advancing scientific concepts through hands-on, embodied practices such as crochet and paper folding. Her TED talk, “The Beautiful Math of Coral,” has 1.2 million views. WHEN: Monday, Feb. 15 9:00 a.m.

  • The Arts and New Materialism: a Call to Stewardship Through Mercy, Grace, and Hope
    humanities Article The Arts and New Materialism: A Call to Stewardship through Mercy, Grace, and Hope Nicholas Leonard Art and Design Education, Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, IL 60115, USA; [email protected] Received: 24 June 2020; Accepted: 13 August 2020; Published: 17 August 2020 Abstract: During highly polarized times, issues are quickly addressed in ways that emphasize divisions. To support the healing of our polarized culture through art, new materialist theory as presented by Karen Barad and Rosi Braidotti will be entangled with art and artmaking according to Dennis Atkinson and Makoto Fujimura to argue for art as an act of environmental and cultural stewardship, creating new possibilities and differences in the virtual that are merciful, graceful, and hopeful. To form this argument, first a summary of new materialism and ethics through Agential Realism and Affirmative Ethics is addressed. Next, a cartography including scientific and theological perspectives is presented for a diffractive reading regarding the concepts of mercy, grace, and hope to develop a new materialist understanding through a philosophy of immanence to counter the circular perpetuation of violence. These concepts are then individually addressed through the proposed new materialist framework to further break from material-discursive dualistic thought. This approach is then explored through various artworks to investigate the co-constructing material-discursive nature of art to create new relations and possibilities in the world. Finally, an in-depth study of the artworks Becoming Us by Megan Constance Altieri and Teeter-Totter Wall by Ronald Rael are addressed to detail how a new materialist approach to art that focuses on the concepts of mercy, grace, and hope can position art as an act of stewardship.

Ninety years later Dr. Jeannine Mosely, an MIT-trained engineer, built a model of this extraordinary object using 66,000 business cards. Now Dr. Mosely has discovered a relative of Menger’s original fractal—the MOSELY SNOWFLAKE SPONGE. During spring semester 2012, the USC community will construct this unique mathematical form out of 54,000 business cards. This is the first time in the history of the world, and perhaps the universe, that this wondrous fractal object will be brought into being. We invite students, faculty and all members of the USC community to join with the USC Libraries in this campus-wide celebration of mathematics, art, engineering, and the library as a place of discovery and invention. The instructions here show how to assemble the basic building blocks of the Mosely Snowflake Sponge. 108 X-modules and 216 Y-modules are required to construct the final object.

We had intended to include knots in art and history, but this be- came too ambitious, as it was hard enough to get knots in mathematics finished. So I telephoned John and asked if he was interested in an ex- hibition. He replied that in the time available we should be able to do something good. The following April, he invited me to his home in Somerset to help choose the sculptures, and then drive up to Leeds to see how they should be displayed.
