Ah, the elusive art of turning squiggly lines into mathematical perfection: apparently mastered by a server playing hide-and-seek. 🤔🌐 In a shocking twist, the real #vectorization was the friends we made along the way, or in this case, didn’t make, because #nginx won't let us in. 🚫📉

The second session in the afternoon at the Bridges #MathArt conference starts with Tuan Dung Do, who speaks about "Visual Illusions in the Hyperbolic Plane." (https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2026/bridges2026-93.html) Some illusions might work better with their tool: https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~bdo/projects/hyperbolic-illusion/ (1/3)

If you’re at MathFest, be sure to check out the art exhibit. I have a couple of pieces there, including a painting of the geometry of longitudes and a set of bracelets I made with cellular automata. You can see from my first photograph that I’ve done this painting more than once because I wanted to update it for the conference. In doing the second version, I screwed up one of the, illustrations in the center column and so I had to do it twice to get it right. #mathart #geometry

The second plenary #MathArt talk is by Claire Moriarty, who speaks about "Semiotics, Ease, and Elegance: Oliver Byrne’s Elements of Euclid." (https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2026/bridges2026-1.html) It is wonderful to learn about the (historical) background of this famous and richly illustrated book. (2/2)

The final activity for this day at the Bridges #Mathart conference is the "Formal Music Night". It is led by "The Irish Dance Experience" and takes place in the wonderful Quadrangle Building of the Galway University campus. We get to try a Céilí and a Riverdance. Great fun!

The first talk in the second afternoon session at the Bridges #MathArt conference is by Henriette Lipschütz, Ulrich Reitebuch, and me, speaking about our paper "Borromean Braid Crossings from the Triaxial Grid." (https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2026/bridges2026-363.html) Happy to answer questions on this. (1/3)

The first afternoon session of the Bridges #Mathart conference is dedicated to space-filling curves. Kicking us off is Shengyi Wang, with the talk "From Patterns to Maze Solutions: An SMT-Based Construction." (https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2026/bridges2026-37.html) A wonderful way to interpret mazes! (1/3)

A solar eclipse in a wrapped world.
The moon radius is 2x smaller than Sun radius, but it is also 2x closer than Sun, so it covers the Sun exactly. Also there are actually 8 moons, so the periodic images of Sun are covered too.
The first image uses stereographic projection to achieve 210 degree field-of-vision, which looks cool, although maybe a bit cheating. The second one uses the usual linear perspective.

The second afternoon session at the Bridges #MathArt conference is "Hitomizashi Galore": The first talk is by Katherine Seaton on "Interleaved Friezes: Celtic Knotwork and Hitomezashi." (https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2026/bridges2026-339.html) She talks us through which Friezes can be done via Hitomezashi. (1/2)

This is followed by Meurig Beynon, who talks about "Building Bridges: Making Sense of Mathematics and Art" (https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2026/bridges2026-21.html). He is taking a more philosophical stand on #MathArt and illustrates aspects from his paper that investigates "construals" and MathArt. (2/3)

The first afternoon session at the @BridgesMathart conference has David Swart speak about "Spaces Filling Curves" (https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2026/bridges2026-117.html). He employs an optimization algorithm to weave a strip of paper around a sphere, resulting in fascinating #MathArt patterns. (1/3)

The first keynote at the Bridges #Mathart conference is by George Hart, speaking about "Math/Art at the Dawn of AI." https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2026/bridges2026-515.html
Starting from his own experience as a sculptor, he investigates how far AI can be leveraged to create original sculptures and research. -
