A quote from Kiyosi Itô, mathematician and 1998 Kyoto laureate, born #OnThisDay in in 1915:
‘In precisely built mathematical structures, mathematicians find the same sort of beauty others find in enchanting pieces of music, or in magnificent architecture.’
— Itô, 'My Sixty Years along the Path of Probability Theory'. 1998 Kyoto Prize lecture abstract [https://www.kyotoprize.org/en/speech/the-1998-kyoto-prize/]
(One of innumerable testimonies indicating that the subjective experience of #MathematicalBeauty parallels that of visual or auditory beauty.)

Big update to ‘Form & Number: A History of Mathematical Beauty’: the PDFs are now *tagged* (plus various minor improvements).
A #TaggedPDF contains hidden extra semantic information to assist screen-reading software etc., including alt text for diagrams+images (in the case of ‘F&N’, 552 pieces of alt text were required, some quite lengthy).
The new version is available (#OpenAccess as always) at: https://archive.org/details/cain_formandnumber_ebook_large
Feedback from users of screen readers would be very welcome!
Creating this version has been possible because of the ongoing LaTeX tagging project [https://latex3.github.io/tagging-project/] (thank you to the LaTeX team and other contributors!). I have been adapting my own #LuaLaTeX styles [https://codeberg.org/ajcain/minos] to use the new interfaces.

Yves-Marie André's (1675–1764) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yves_Marie_André] ‘Essay on Beauty’ (‘Essai sur le beau’, 1741) was an important work of 18th-century aesthetics. In the article on beauty in the 2nd volume (1752) of the ‘Encylopédie’, Denis Diderot praised André's system as the best he knew, elevating it above the work of Plato, Augustine, Wolff, Crousaz, Shaftesbury.
In 2010, I released a #CreativeCommons-licensed annotated English translation [https://archive.org/details/EssayOnBeauty]. I have just made an update: the PDF is now an accessible #TaggedPDF.
(The LaTeX tagging system is still under development [https://latex3.github.io/tagging-project/], but I have been adapting my LaTeX styles to be tagging-compatible.)
Although I was a much less practised typographer 16 years ago, I have left the overall design of ‘Essay on Beauty’ unchanged, contenting myself with minor improvements offered by an updated version of the Baskervald font, ensuring that line-end hyphenations follow the OUP standard, and a few other localized improvements.

As I mentioned in a post I wrote a few minutes ago, Richard Wollheim's "Painting as an Art" has gripped me because it invites the reader to join the author in looking at pictures closely. His obituary mentions his own method as he applied it in galleries:
>> I evolved a way of looking at paintings which was massively time consuming and deeply rewarding. For I came to recognise that it often took the first hour or so in front of a painting for stray associations or motivated misperceptions to settle down, and it was only then, with the same amount of time or more to spend looking at it, that the picture could be relied upon to disclose itself as it was. I noticed that I became an object of suspicion to passers-by, and so did the picture that I was looking at. <<

Hot Take: We need another means of determining Artistic Merit (I know, I know, whole can o' worms) besides sales, and artists (of all media: books, visual, music, etc) should receive some kind of UBI instead of relying exclusively on sales to perpetuate and facilitate the production of their art.
(As a musician I acknowledge this gets complicated when you factor in things like touring, but I'll allow "performance" or "exhibition" as a separate category from "creation," so ticket sales can help fund the whole production team.)
I support copyright in terms of "intellectual property," but not in terms of sales and distribution of media.
We need to divorce the creation AND consumption of art from money.

!!BONUS CHAT ALERT!!
@arielkroon & @xtinadlr are trying a new thing out this year, where they record a bonus podcast chat from a topic decided on by Patrons each month, and post it up on YouTube for all to hear.
The very first topic of 2024 is LUNARPUNK - because, what even is it, exactly? How does it relate to solarpunk? Can it be described as a movement, or an aesthetic stance, or more of a vibe? What's going on with this nascent genre? Tune in to the discussion now and join the conversation!

Found this while browsing in a second-hand bookshop. No way to resist that title. It sacrifices some depth for brevity, but as a scholarly (and mostly western) overview it's an interesting account
