With a few exceptions showing more modern influences, you could label this gallery "1980 Mathematical Art Exhibition" and I would believe you.

- keyle 6y agoAgreed it was a bit underwhelming. Maybe there are strict requirements for it being math driven and not code driven I missed? The proce55ing page blows this out of the water on any given month.
- alanbernstein 6y agoI don't necessarily disagree with you. But, for example, I think you may be overlooking the complexity of crocheting an unusual topological shape. There isn't a lot of detail on this page, but this is kind of similar: http://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2020/bridges2020-413.pdf http://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2020/bridges2020-413.pdf.
- jackyinger 6y agoOh man, dude, art is art. It doesn’t have to be avant-garde to be worthwhile. Let me relate a fun little story. In my last place I had to clean behind my stove due to a particularly nasty culinary accident. Among the odd things I found there was a kinda odd acrylic painting of a banana. It’s strokes are rough and it has an almost sickly blueish greenish hue, kinda over exposed. When I moved recently, I was thinking what will I do with the banana painting? But hey, it’s art, I’d rather have it and enjoy it’s unique oddity than throw it out. Don’t let anyone put art up in an inaccessible ivory tower. A doodle on the back of an envelope can bring more joy than a acclaimed masterpiece when you’ve got a free attitude.
- throwaway2245 6y agoI agree that those things can be enjoyed; I only doubt that those things ought to be awarded entries in an art exhibition.
