I AM A.I. - explaining artificial intelligence

Can an AI explain itself? That is a question that many researchers are asking themselves right now. We think that - at least in some cases - the answer is “Yes!”.

On June 10 the interactive exhibition “I AM A. I. – explaining artificial intelligence” will be launched in a new digital format. 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 (Jena, Heidelberg, Kaiserslautern).

The exhibition, supported by the Carl Zeiss Foundation, will include demonstrations and explanations of Artificial Intelligence using interactive exhibits, artworks, videos, and workshops. It will feature both new and established research in fields like machine learning, expert systems, general artificial intelligence and more. The exhibition will visit three German cities, for three months each.

Pre-release Mathina online test day

We have developed exciting stories for children aged 4 to 19 who deal with various math topics. For example, encryption (of secret messages), symmetry (of cuddly toys), logic (when solving puzzles), and spatial imagination (when flying kites).
Each topic has content tailored to four different age groups. Interactive applets are integrated into the individual chapters, which convey the content intuitively and are also fun. It is planned to make the offer freely available on a platform in several languages under an open license (German, English, Portuguese, Italian).

 

We present the materials and their possible use in lessons or other educational offers.

The event takes place online and is free of charge.

Register here.

 

We look forward to meeting you!

The Evolution of Christmas Tree Decoration and a Happy New Year!

The IMAGINARY team wishes you merry christmas and a happy new year!

We prepared a christmas card for you (in English, Spanish, German, French and Catalan for now) to download and forward. It was made with our program SURFER, which visualizes algebraic surfaces in real time. If you help us translate the card into other languages we can prepare new versions (for example Portuguese or Russian). We also offer you the InDesign file to recreate your own Christmas card - see attached files and below for the download directory.

2013 was a very special year for us:  we collaborated with Mathematics of Planet Earth to launch a new exhibition and presented our new platform “IMAGINARY - open mathematics”. We worked on many exhibitions and events in Germany, Russia, Norway, France, Denmark, Argentina, Spain, Uruguay and Vietnam… And we presented our “IMAGINARY-Entdeckerbox”, a very exciting new medium for us to reach out to schools. The biggest news in 2013 was that we continue our great collaboration with the Klaus Tschira Stiftung. We are now working on a 3 years program to communicate modern mathematics and current research. We are looking forward for the upcoming “snapshots of modern mathematics” project and new exhibitions which are already in the pipeline for 2014.

Instantanés de mathématiques actuelles

Les instantanés sont des articles courts et faciles à comprendre sur des thèmes d’actualité de la recherche mathématique. Ils expliquent les problèmes et idées mathématiques d’une façon accessible et compréhensible, et donnent des aperçus passionnants des préoccupations actuelles de la communauté mathématique pour toute personne qui s’intéresse aux mathématiques actuelles.

Les instantanés sont tous écrits par de véritables experts de leurs domaines.

Au Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, ce sont chaque semaine entre 50 et 60 experts qui viennent du monde entier travailler ensemble sur les défis actuels des mathématiques. Ils introduisent de nouveaux résultats, discutent différentes approches, et développent de nouvelles idées. Après chaque symposium, l’institut demande à des participants choisis d’expliquer un aspect de leur recherche, dans un langage compréhensible par le grand public, en quelques pages. De jeunes mathématiciens relisent les articles en étroite collaboration avec les auteurs et les aident à communiquer des choses compliquées à une audience non spécialiste. Ensemble, ils préparent une version retravaillée prête à publier.

Retrouvez tous les instantanés publiés dans la section textes du site IMAGINARY!
À ce jour, 23 instantanés sont disponibles en anglais et en allemand. D’autres suivront. Certains sont déjà en cours de traduction vers d’autres langues. Vous pouvez trier par domaine des mathématiques et/ou par liens avec d’autres domaines, ainsi que par auteurs.

Le projet «Instantanés» est conçu pour promouvoir la compréhension et l’appréciation des mathématiques actuelles et de la recherche mathématique par le grand public sur toute la planète. Dans le cadre du projet «Oberwolfach rencontre IMAGINARY», il est financé par le Klaus Tschira Stiftung et par la Oberwolfach Foundation.

Mathématiques de la Planète Terre au Deutsches Technikmuseum de Berlin

Eruptions volcaniques, tsunamis, fonte des glaces: comment calculer ces phénomènes? Comment les mathématiques peuvent-elles contribuer à l’évaluation de ces problèmes et catastrophes écologiques actuelles dont les enjeux sont mondiaux? L’exposition «Mathématiques de la Planète Terre» donne un aperçu de ces questions. Elle sera présentée au Deutsches Technikmuseum de Berlin à partir du 27 mars. Plusieurs vidéos et simulations présenteront des exemples spécifiques ainsi que leurs modèles mathématiques. 

Cette exposition a été développée en 2013. Plusieurs centaines d’institutions scientifiques, d’universités, d’ONG et de bureaux de recherche se sont regroupés à travers le monde pour sensibiliser le public à la contribution que peuvent apporter les mathématiques aux catastrophes naturelles et aux défis écologiques auxquels le monde doit faire face. L’exposition a reçu le soutien de l’UNESCO, du Conseil International pour la Science ICSU et du Conseil International pour les Mathématiques Industrielles et Appliquées ICIAM.

L’un des points forts de cette exposition est la création de contenus mis à disposition de tous sous une licence libre. Ceci a donné lieu à un concours donnant la possibilité aux utilisateurs d’envoyer des contributions numériques sous forme de photos, films, programmes et plans de constructions pour les objets d’exposition. 29 groupes de 11 pays différents ont participé à ce concours. 

En ce qui concerne l’exposition au Deutsches Technikmuseum, trois contributions ont été selectionnées par un jury et préparées de manière didactique. Les projets selectionnés ont été présentés sur des écrans tactiles utilisés de manière interactive par le public. L’exposition »Dune Ash» (cendres de dune) de l’université de Freibourg est la simulation virtuelle d’une éruption volcanique. Le calcul du mouvement des cendres est rendue visible pour les visiteurs. «Le futur développement des glaciers», projet de l’Université Libre de Berlin (Freie Universität) explique comment des experts ont créé des modèles permettant de prévoir la fonte des glaces. Enfin, l’exposition »Tsunami», par l’université de Paris I la Sorbonne, présente d’un côté une simulation de l’évolution et du calcul des vagues de tsunamis et de l’autre un historique sur les formations et les conséquences dévastatrices des tsunamis par le passé. 

Cette exposition a été organisée en collaboration avec IMAGINARY, un projet de l’Institut de Recherche en Mathématiques d’Oberwolfach fondé par la fondation Klaus Tschira. Elle est présentée au Deutsches Technikmuseum jusqu’au 27 juin et se trouve à côté de l’exposition sur Konrad Zuse «le premier ordinateur».
