Ingrid Daubechies, a mathematician from Duke University and a passionate cookie maker, has combined her love for math and art in “Mathemalchemy.” This exciting project features art installations that highlight the beauty of mathematical concepts.
As Pi Day approaches, March 14th, Daubechies, known for her pi-shaped cookies, will head to the University of Quebec in Montreal to give tours of “Mathemalchemy.” This multimedia installation has been touring since its debut in 2022 at the National Academy of Sciences.
The exhibition itself is a stunning 360-degree diorama, 20 feet long and nearly 10 feet high, created with the help of 24 artistic mathematicians. It embodies the year’s theme of “mathematics, art, and creativity.” Daubechies' dedication to merging these two worlds has inspired many to appreciate math not just as numbers, but as an art form that changes our perception of both.
The "Mathemalchemy" experience is a delightful journey into how math can inspire creativity and artistry, making it a must-see for enthusiasts of both fields.
