Four exhibits from IMAGINARY in the new permanent exhibition at the Deutsches Museum Bonn

A curated selection of our exhibits on artificial intelligence is now on display in the “Foundations of AI” exhibition area and forms part of the museum’s permanent collection. These exhibits include versions of “Gradient Descent,” “Reinforcement Learning,” and “Sumory,” specially adapted for the Deutsches Museum, along with a brand-new game called “Summy Bears”.

All four exhibits introduce visitors to the fundamental concepts of AI in an engaging manner: gradient descent, reinforcement learning, and the exploration vs. exploitation concept. This empowers visitors to grasp the workings of AI systems, assess their implications, identify potential applications, and make informed decisions. Understanding these core concepts of AI is crucial for analyzing its potential impact on privacy, security, justice, and other societal aspects.

Summer events 2015

We have two big exhibition openings coming up in early July!

On July 5, the “Mathematics of Planet Earth” exhibition will open at Karlstorbahnhof in Heidelberg, Germany! It runs from July 5 to Aug 2, 2015, and offers a big variety of exciting adventures for children and adults alike. This exhibition is organized by the Heidelberg Laureate Forum Foundation (HLFF), which came to life in 2013 by joint efforts of the Klaus Tschira Stiftung (KTS) and the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies (HITS).
“Mathematics of Planet Earth” is an international exhibition that shows exhibits and programs concerning the question, how mathematics can (and does) play a role in solving esssential problems of our planet. In programs, visualizations and hands-on experiments you can discover its contribution to topics like astronomy, fluid dynamics, volcanism, glaciers or cartography.

IMAGINARY will be shown at the Clore Garden of Science at the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot, Israel, opening on July 7, 2015, and running for three month! This is the first of two IMAGINARY exhibitions in Israel in 2015. The second exhibition will be at Bar Ilan University towards the end of the year. The two exhibitions are part of the project IMAGINARY Isarel, funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research, which includes two scientific events as well: A summer school in Kaiserslautern, Germany, with young researchers from Israel and Germany in September, 2015  and a short workshop at Bar Ilan University in Tel Aviv in early 2016.

Furhtermore, we invite kids age 12 - 14 years to the IMAGINARY workshop to explore the interrelations of science, art, and music at the KinderuniKunst in Vienna, Austria.

SURFER

Descripción

Description: 

De forma matemática, el programa visualiza la geometría algebraica a tiempo real. Las superficies que se muestran son las que están dadas por una ecuación polinómica en las variables x, y, z igualada a 0. Todos los puntos que resuelven la ecuación se representan, y forman la superficie. Como ejemplo, consideremos x2+y2+z2-1=0, la ecuación de la esfera. Se puede ver facilmente que el punto (x, y, z) = (0,0,0) no está en la esfera, mientras que, por ejemplo, los puntos (1,0,0), (0,1,0) y (0,0 , -1) son solución de la ecuación. El programa incluye una gran galería de muestras con explicaciones y un tutorial. Está disponible en varios idiomas, incluyendo alemán, español, ruso, serbio y portugués.

Lo fabuloso de SURFER es que, a priori, no es necesario entender las matemáticas que hay por debajo (geometría algebraica), se puede experimentar, probar, seguir la intuición y creatividad de uno mismo y crear una obra de arte única, como imágenes o animaciones.

SURFER es la nueva versión basada en Java del programa SURFER2008, que fue desarrollado para la exposición IMAGINARY en el Año de las Matemáticas en Alemania en 2008. El programa es independiente de la plataforma y se ejecuta en los sistemas operativos Windows, Linux o Mac. SURFER se ha utilizado en muchas exposiciones IMAGINARY y se está mejorado y ampliado continuamente.

Launch of the I AM A.I. Digital Exhibition

On June 10 the interactive exhibition “I AM A. I. – explaining artificial intelligence” will be launched in a new digital format at www.i-am.ai. Different “trails” introduce the visitor to core questions around artificial intelligence through means of images, videos, and experiments. The exhibits are targeted at everyone from the age of 12. From 2021 onwards, I AM A. I. will travel to several German cities as a physical exhibition. IMAGINARY conceptualized and developed I AM A. I. together with international partners. The Carl Zeiss Foundation generously supports both the physical and digital exhibition.

How does a neural network learn? Why is a computer able to recognize the words I speak? Can artificial intelligence be wrong sometimes? What are training data sets? Is it possible to do something without understanding it? These and other questions will be examined by the digital exhibition through several thematic “trails”. The trails include interactive software programs, images, videos, do-it-yourself experiments, and explanatory texts. The exhibition content is complemented by interactive video tutorials presented by an exhibition guide. You will be able to interact with neural networks, train an AI to recognize your handwriting, read an AI comic, and play games with an AI. You will be introduced to and intuitively guided through the gradient descent algorithm, which is one of the most important methods in AI. Virtual tours for schools will also be available free of charge.

The exhibition will launch on June 10, 2020, on www.i-am.ai, in English and German (more translations are planned) to accommodate an international audience. All content is available under open licenses and free to download.

Visit www.i-am.ai to learn more.

I AM A. I. was developed by IMAGINARY and finaned by Carl Zeiss Foundation.

IMAGINARY – una mirada matemática

La exposición IMAGINARY ha recorrido más de 60 ciudades en Alemania, Austria, Francia, Ucrania, Suiza, Argentina, Polonia, Colombia, Panamá, España, Portugal, Serbia, Rusia y Estados Unidos. La exposición pretende generar interés y curiosidad por las matemáticas y fomenta que los visitantes interactuen con las piezas expuestas para crear su propia obra de arte matemática usando un software especial. Hay paneles explicativos para dar una visión útil del trasfondo teórico.

La Idea

La idea que hay detrás de la exposición IMAGINARY -como su propio nombre indica- es usar los componentes estéticos y visuales de las matemáticas como atractivo para explicar el trasfondo matemático de una manera interactiva. Las partes imaginable e inimaginable de las matemáticas estan ilustradas, se convierten en imágenes que puedes crear tú mismo.

La exposición

Tal y como fue creada para el Año de las Matemáticas en Alemania, en 2008, la exposición consistía en cuatro secciones: una galería con hermosas imágenes matemáticas, varias instalaciones interactivas donde los visitantes pueden experimentar el arte matemático ellos mismos, una sala de proyección donde se muestran películas matemáticas, y una vitrina con esculturas en 3D de superficies algebraicas.

El cubo IMAGINARY

El cubo IMAGINARY es un amplia galería -con forma de cubo- que contiene imágenes. La mayoría muestran superficies algebraicas creadas por el matemático austriaco Herwig Hauser. Estas superficies se presentan junto con las ecuaciones que las definen y son a la vez imágenes bonitas y objetos matemáticos interesantes. La galería se completa con una serie de imágenes creadas por Oliver Labs, Aurélien Alvarez, Jos Leys y Étienne GysUlrich Pinkall, Nicholas Schmitt, Charles Gunn y Tim Hoffmann, y por trabajos artísticos de Luc Benard y Richard Palais. Cada imagen se presenta un panel de cristal acrílico de 85x85 cm, junto con otro panel que detalla sus propiedades matemáticas.

Programas interactivos

El principal atractivo de la exposición IMAGINARY es el programa SURFER, que calcula y muestra imágenes de forma instantánea. Los visitantes pueden introducir y cambiar ecuaciones polinómicas en una gran pantalla táctil, modificar parámetros, determinar el color de las superficies y girar las figuras tanto como deseen.

El programa CINDERELLA permite observar varios fenómenos físicos y matemáticos. Es una colección de aplicaciones interactivas que tratan de una forma lúdica temas como la simulación, el caos o las simetrías.

Otro de los programas, MORENAMENTS, permite crear dibujos simétricos en cualquiera de los 17 grupos de simetría del plano euclídeo.

El programa 3D-XPLORMATH proporciona una experiencia en 3D única: usando unas gafas 3D, permite descubrir las matemáticas desde un punto de vista tridimensional.

Por último, el programa JREALITY genera un mundo matemático virtual donde los visitantes se pueden mover libremente, subir, bajar, saltar, caer… En este programa se utilizan, entre otras,  la superficie de Boy, un ingenioso toro y un tetranoide.

Películas matemáticas

La exposición cuenta con varias películas matemáticas: La película MESH, que ha sido galardonada en múltiples ocasiones,  explica la historia de la geometría discreta y sus aplicaciones a la infografía. Además de ésta, se muestra la película DIMENSIONS, que ofece un paseo por la cuarta dimensión, explicando la proyección estereográfica de una manera fácil de entender. También se emite un corto sobre superficies algebraicas y los cortos ganadores del Math Film Festival 2008 en Alemania.

Superficies y esculturas

Las compañías alemanas Voxeljet Technology y Alphaform son las encargadas, entre otras, de la fabricación de los modelos 3D mediante el pegado selectivo de polvo de plástico (selective gluing plastic powder, PMMA) o por medios estereolitográficos. Ambas compañías aceptaron el reto de imprimir en 3D una selección de superficies algebraicas de la exposición y presentarlas como esculturas. En la exposición se muestran, de forma exclusiva, diez esculturas de un diámetro aproximado de 25 cm, que fueron producidas por las dos empresas de forma gratuita. Los datos en 3D de las esculturas han sido elaborados por el socio exposición FORWISS Institute, Universidad de Passau.

Catálogo IMAGINARY, Carteles y Postales

Se puede adquirir el catálogo de la exposición IMAGINARY (IMAGINARY exhibition catalogue), una colección de carteles (IMAGINARY poster set) con 12 superficies algebraicas y una colección de 5 postales (IMAGINARY postcards) en alta calidad. También se ofrecen los archivos pdf bajo una licencia abierta y no comercial.

Celebration of 50 years of German-Israeli diplomatic relations

A high-calibre and interdisciplinary science symposium of the Weizmann Institute, the Max Planck Society and the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities has been held as part of the jubilee events in Tel Aviv and Rehovot.

German Federal Research Minister Johanna Wanka is the first top government official to visit Israel in this jubilee year to celebrate 50 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

The speakers covered a range of subjects in science and the humanities. IMAGINARY was represented by scientific advisor Gert-Martin Greuel.

The Weizmann Institute is a fitting venue for this celebration. It has the oldest ties to Germany’s research sector – going back to 1959, when the first contacts were established between Israeli and German scientists through the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, leading to the opening of diplomatic ties. Today, The Weizmann Institute and German scientists carry out more than 90 projects every year, in bilateral and EU frameworks.
