Art meets Topology

Math Trek : Sculpting with a Twist, Science News Online, Dec. 20, 2003

Japanese artist Keizo Ushio demonstrates some beautiful integration of math, science, and art his pieces. Using massive rings of granite, he drills and chisels them apart with surgical precision to reveal physical embodiments of mathematical concepts - Mobius strips, Mobius rings and split rings, etc.

One of my favorites is the Dream Lens - and to understand it better, a mathematical puzzle that shows it's scientific beauty.

The artist's homepage shows his latest work.
