Statement
Mathematical art?… Contradictio in terminis?… Mathematics as a source of ideas for artistic practice to explore breaking of conceptual frameworks and composing fragments of a deeper fictional reality.
Artworks
In this case the basic varieties are a singular surface and a Calabi-Yau threefold. The image is obtained after an analysis of some of their shadows or projections.
These works are based on special members of a series of singular algebraic varieties and Calabi-Yau threefolds defined over the rationals obtained recently ("Singular and Calabi-Yau varieties linked with billiard trajectories and diffusion operators".
