Kattchee, Hart, Orndorff Art Top Mathematical Exhibition

摘要

The 2016 Mathematical Art Exhibition awards were made at the Joint Mathematics Meetings "for aesthetically pleasing works that combine mathematics and art." The three chosen works were selected from the exhibition of juried works in various media by 79 mathematicians and artists from around the world. "45 Poppies," by Karl Kattchee, was awarded best photograph, painting, or print. "By using mathematics as part of the creative process, I can infuse my art with mathematics without necessarily representing any particular mathematical thing," said Kattchee. "On the other hand, the mathematical content may be right at the surface. Mathematical art can be conceptual, too. I use pencil, pen, pastel, paper, cardboard, scanner, camera, computer, printer, and metals to achieve my desired effects."
