Participants will use knots, weaving, sorting algorithms, notation and geometry to explore unfamiliar territories of mathematics or crafts using familiar practices of artistic and technological experimentation.</p> <p>"To me the simple act of tying a knot is an adventure in unlimited space. A bit of string affords the dimensional latitude that is unique among the entities [...] another dimension is added which provides an opportunity that is limited only by the scope of our own imagery and the length of a ropemakers coil."<br /> --Clifford W Ashley, The Book of Knots.</p> <p>In progress: <a href="http://lib.fo.am/mathematickal_arts_2011" title="http://lib.fo.am/mathematickal_arts_2011">http://lib.fo.am/mathematickal_arts_2011</a></p> <p>This workshop is a part of Resilients (<a href="http://x4.fo.am/resilients" title="http://x4.fo.am/resilients">http://x4.fo.am/resilients</a>) and Splinterfields (<a href="http://x4.fo.am/splinterfields" title="http://x4.fo.am/splinterfields">http://x4.fo.am/splinterfields</a>)</p> <p>With the support of the Culture Programme (2007 - 2013) of the European Union and the Flemish Authorities.</p> workshop brussels splinterfields crafts math mathematickal mathematics Resilients science splinterfields Tue, 21 Jun 2011 16:59:43 +0000 maja 2005 at http://fo.am
