Genuine Pretending: Philosophies for Mathematics and Art


One of the challenges of doing mathematical art is that it seems to fit into a societal blind spot, the popular perception of both subjects appearing to have little intersection. How did that come about? More importantly how can understanding those origins help us make better mathematical art? In this talk I will discuss joint work with the late Roger Antonssen, applying the notion of Genuine Pretending (based on the work of Hans Georg Moeller) to mathematical art. I will present several examples of my own work to bring these theoretical considerations into practice, in particular how ideas from differential geometry can be both used to control digital machines to make art, and be explored themselves as the content of artwork.

Computing and the Linguistic Turn

By

Enigma (Wikipedia) Symbolic analysis and statistical analysis were both approaches codebreakers took in breaking Enigma. The development of AI has also incorporated both approaches. One historical question for AI is why the dominance of Symbolic AI from 1950 to 1990? Note the development of AI out of the Dartmouth Workshop and especially the contributions of one of its attendees,  Ray Solomonoff , to the statistical approach, an approach taken up by Marcus Hutter , a DeepMind  researcher. Note too that along with the difference between the symbolic and the statistical is the difference between language learning and computer vision.
