The film is about discretization of patterns, colours and shapes. The animation illustrates that a 2D periodic pattern can be mapped seemless to a torus. Riemann surfaces are more suitable to display aperiodic patterns in three dimensions. Hence the Penrose tiling consisting of birds is shown on a helicoid.

Imagine two people who hate each other but unfortunately live in a room with walls covered by mirrors. How to place their guests in such a way that these will cannot see each other ? If you imagine that everybody stays on place and that people ar points, then we are talking about a mathematical billiard theory problem called a “blocking problem”.

The feature called Cindyscript accounts for the images in the Colorplot function of Cinderella 2. I have been using it as the basis of color monoprints that I make on my etching press. I have an interest in seeing where the art that I make from simple mathematical concepts can take me.

Colorplot is a feature of the geometric toolbox Cinderella 2. I have been working with this feature called Cindyscript for the past three years and have made hundreds of interesting images. It is a like a colorful etch-a-sketch. Here I experiment with writing for the x and y axis, and you can see the results.

Shrine of Knowledge
Curiosity and a need for learning has been a vehicle for discoveries leading to better description of the systems we obey. Mathematics helped philosophers understand and depict basic structures, processes and products, then to develop tools for collecting facts and date, and improving our knowledge, as a basis for further discoveries.
