Cascading Principles - Conrad Shawcross, Martin Bridson and James Sparks with Fatos Ustek
Explore the fascinating intersection of mathematics and art in this 57-minute discussion featuring artist Conrad Shawcross and mathematicians Martin Bridson and James Sparks. Delve into the creative processes shared by mathematicians and artists, where the end result is often unknown at the outset. Discover Conrad Shawcross's mathematically inspired exhibition at the Andrew Wiles Building, home to Oxford Mathematics, running until October 2023. Learn about concepts such as psychogeometry, the significance of the tetrahedron, and the beauty of simplicity in both fields. Gain insights into the challenges of creation, the importance of failure, and the unexpected connections between mathematical principles and artistic expression. Examine specific works like "Slow Arc" and understand how mathematical concepts influence and inspire artistic endeavors. This thought-provoking conversation, part of the Oxford Mathematics Public Lectures series, is generously supported by XTX Markets and offers a unique perspective on the relationship between two seemingly disparate disciplines.
