Programme
This visit will also include a lecture by Eugen Jost, is a Swiss artist, born in Zürich, whose work is strongly influenced by mathematics.
For the past twenty-five years, he has studied and worked in the field of art, particularly pottery, sculpture, and painting. He likes to experiment with signs and numbers, letters and characters, and his preferred techniques and materials are currently acrylic colours and computer graphic. His artworks and illustrations can be found in numerous books.
Together with Peter Baptist and Carsten Miller of the University of Bayreuth he has launched the project “Everything is Number”. It resulted in art calendars, books and in an exhibition that was shown in many European Cities.

From Fibonacci and fractals to topology and tilings, this presentation of knitwear, beadwork, origami, and more will be a feast for the eyes.
