Ars Mathematica
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ars Mathematica (Latin for "[the] Mathematical Art") is a Paris, France-based non-profit organization founded in 1992 by Christian Lavigne and Alexandre Vitkine to promote the interconnection between art, science, and technology, with a particular focus on computer-assisted sculpture.
Since 1993, the association has organized a biennial exhibition of digital sculpture. "Intersculpt '95," the second show, was jointly sponsored by U.S.-based Computers and Sculpture Foundation. During the expo, a transatlantic videoconference between Philadelphia and Paris resulted in the creation of a shared sculpture, "the Temple Hands," based on a concept by David Morris.
