Geometry of Light by Alyson Shotz imagines “What would it look like to see light stopped in time”.
About the artist:
Interested in physics, Alyson Shotz uses industrial material, mirrors, stainless steel, to visualize invisible forces like gravity, space and light – the basic elements of our physical world. Materials that proved no less important when it comes to Art. “Questions about what the universe is made of (what is space, what is matter) seem primary to what sculpture, or art, should be about”, says Shotz.

Zachary Abel can’t help himself when it comes to making really cool mathematical sculptures out of everyday objects:
I think about math constantly, and I see and look for math in everything around me. Geometry in particular fascinates me, and I delight in discovering hidden patterns even in the most mundane of objects. By transforming often-overlooked household items into elaborate, mathematical sculptures, I hope to share this sense of excitement, curiosity, and beauty that a mathematical outlook has instilled in me. Maybe I’ll even be able to learn and teach some math along the way.

There is geometry in the humming of the strings. There is music in the spacing of spheres.
