Bridging Art and Mathematics : Introduction
Abstract
There is a long history of interdisciplinary discussions on the relations
between science, mathematics, geometry, art, aesthetics, and artistic
praxes. These discussions remain active and pertinent today: the
aforementioned relations are explored in various scientific communities,
journals, and at conferences. Globally, numerous scholars and artists share
a common interest in combining creative thinking, intellectual curiosity,
and aesthetic sensibility in their work. Various experts working in
different scientific and technological fields are inspired by phenomena
that combine mathematical and artistic qualities. Respectively, several
contemporary artists, graphic designers, craftsmen, and craftswomen are
fascinated by scientific discoveries, mathematics, and geometry and use
the formulas and principles of each in different ways in their artistic and
creative work.
