Director and mathematician Ekaterina Erimenko (Colours of Math, The Discrete Charm of Geometry) will host a short and entertaining ceremony where the 5 winners of MathLapse Festival are honoured. Afterwards the best of all contributions will be screened while socializing at the bar as the informal farewell to IMAGINARY Conference IC16.

A “MathLapse” is a new educational and artistic format, which is supposed to highlight the link between mathematics and real-world phenomena. The name MathLapse is inspired by the timelapse-technique in physics: By re-scaling time, phenomena that we cannot observe with the naked eye are visualized. A MathLapse is short, simple, self-contained and creative and should illustrate a single mathematical idea through true or virtual animated images.
