Presentation Transcript

  1. Maths and Creativity By a mathematically challenged creativist.

  2. Fibonacci, the Performance Maths, Music and Dance (xcurric phase 1) Contributors. Louise Walker. MMU John Maycraft. Composer. Ludus Dance Co. Peter Kidd. Mathematician (partly responsible for the congestion charges in Manchester)

  3. Fibonacci Sequence

  4. All knitters are mathematicians. Knitters count the stitches (arithmetic), figure out the number of stitches needed (algebra) and create shapes (topology, geometry, and trigonometry). Knitting was one of the first applications of computer programming. Knitted fabrics were commercially produced using punch cards long before anyone ever heard of IBM or Microsoft. Fibonacci socks

  5. Fibonacci poetry asajuniorcuratorI applied Fibonacci tosequencing arrangements of art

  6. TESTING MY NERVESByGregory K.Shake.Quake.Dry mouth.Sweaty hands.Can’t relax, can’t rest --It must be time for my math test.Yep, that's another Fib (this one fitting in for both National Poetry Month and Math Awareness Month).

  7. Fibonacci abstract painting

  8. Other mathematical entanglements.

  9. Polynomial Riff scarf

  10. Fractal digital photography

  11. Fractal psychodelia

  12. Fractal quilt

  13. Sculpture Rachel Whiteread.

  14. Rachel Whiteread. Installation at the Tate, London.

  15. Whiteread. House. Casting of a house showing space reversal.

  16. Whiteread . Village.

  20. The Guggenheim Museum. Bilbao Spain.

  21. Stata Centre Massachusetts. Gehry.

  22. The Practical Bit!! • You are going to create a model for Gehrytown, a new development off the M6. • Each person will create one building. • The building has to be constructed using mathematical shapes. • The building will need windows. • You might need to work together!!

  23. Don’t forget scale! Check out Claes Oldenburg.

  24. Creative maths and running. • Recently heard at a track session. • “How many laps have we got to do now?” • 1st person “we’ve done 6 so we have 6 more to do” • 2nd. “After the next 3, we’ve done 75%” • 3rd.” 50% so we’re on the final half” • 4th.” Don’t know, but I have a drink every 2 laps, and I still have ½ a bottle left”
