“Maths Dreamed Universe” is a quantitative visualisation
of the manner in which elemental forms in nature order themselves.
The graph – created using generative Python code – maps numbers
0 to 100,001 arranged in a logarithmic spiral. The pattern that
results is frequently found in nature, as in the arrangement of floral
organs and the spin of galaxies. The spiral reveals the visual
relationships of elemental numbers and the aesthetic beauty of
mathematical equations.
The project reflects the contemporary interest in the intersection
of science and art: in particular the crossover of pure math
with graphic aestheticism. The appreciation of aesthetic
forms has a long tradition in art and design, but ornamentation
is often derided as being little more than a fancy. But what if
aesthetic appreciation was functional? – what if beauty
communicates and is thus open to analytical investigation?
“Maths Dreamed Universe” is the first in a series of projects
that investigates meaning in aesthetics.
The Luxury of Protest is the design practise of Peter Crnokrak.
