The Artist is a Mathematician

Carla Farsi is a mathematician AND artist, and her career seems to be a constant dialogue and dialectic between the two, rather than a simple collaboration.  She points out the deep similarities between art and mathematics from the point of view of the practitioner: “Something that is logical, that makes a mathematical theorem, also makes some kind of a visual statement about structure and composition. It’s almost like a piece of art, it has its own structure, logic, meaning. In a mathematician’s head, the mathematical ideas, even if they’re very abstract, can appear to be almost visual, intuitive.”  An interview with Carla Farsi on +plus magazine.
