Exhibition Content Overview
From How to organize an IMAGINARY exhibition
IMAGINARY has a collection of exhibits grouped in two big exhibitions: the original "Through the eyes of mathematics", that features pure abstract mathematics, and "Mathematics of planet Earth", that features applied mathematics. However, the distinction is not strict and frequently IMAGINARY exhibitions mix modules from both sources.
Through the eyes of mathematics
The exhibits on this collection are:
- Programs
- SURFER [1]. Visualization of algebraic surfaces in real time.
- jReality Exhibit. Videogame-like environment with minimal surfaces and other mathematical objects.
- Cinderella Applets. A collection of miscellaneous small interactive programs.
- 3D-XplorMath. Rendering of various collections of surfaces.
- Morenaments. Drawing patterns with the seventeen wallpaper groups.
- Films
- LPDJLQH D VHFUHW (Imagine a secret). A film about cryptography and modular curves.
- Dimensions [2]. Geometry of 2, 3 and 4 dimensions.
- Images
- Labs gallery. Algebraic surfaces.
- Pinkall, Schmitt, Gunn and Hoffmann gallery. Differential surfaces and spaces.
- Hauser gallery. Algebraic surfaces.
- Leys, Ghys and Alvarez gallery. Screenshots from Dimensions and others.
- Palais and Benard gallery. Artistic images with mathematical origin.
- Physical
- Twelve Algebraic Sculptures. 3D printings of algebraic surfaces.
- Sliced IMAGINARY. Models of algebraic solids constructed interlocking paper sections.
Mathematics of planet Earth
The exhibits on this collection are:
- Programs
- The Sphere of the Earth. Cartographic projections and their distortion.
- Dune Ash. Spreading of a cloud of volcano ashes with the wind.
