No prior experience of art or math is needed in this studio course, consisting of a series of studio assignments. We will explore mathematical ideas through making projects in movement practice (string figures), textile crafts (Coast Salish weaving) and lensless photography (wallpaper tilings). Ideas from these will be further developed in the final project, which is open to each student’s specific focus and interest, resulting in mathematically inspired interdisciplinary projects, from educational games and exhibits, to all forms of art, performance, programming, digital or time-based media.
