“And in four dimensions, that gets harder. Like, that ability to just literally observe the space goes away. But you can still draw these representative pictures where you lose some but not all information.”
– Mathematician Lisa Piccirillo, on the difficulty of representing knots in four dimensional space. In conversation with host Steven Strogatz and fellow mathematician Colin Adams, the trio untangles varied applications of knot theory in fields including synthetic biology and genetics.

“It’s dated January 17th 1995, which means that three weeks after I started thinking about networks, my instinct was to visualize them.”
– Network scientist Albert-László Barabási, tells the tale of his very first visualization during a digital opening of “BarabásiLab. Hidden Patterns” at ZKM Karlsruhe. A 2D lattice, the 26-year old graphic he describes mathematically models how water seeps into the ground [quote edited].

Zürich’s Kate Vass Galerie opens “The Game of Life,” an online exhibition in tribute to the late mathematician John Horton Conway. Curator Jason Bailey invited four generative artists, Jared S Tarbell, Alexander Reben, Kjetil Golid, and Manolo Gamboa Naon, to interpret Conway’s titular cellular automata experiments from the 1970s. “I love when simple rules become really complex,” Naon writes about layering several automata for his contribution (image). “I feel that they even explain the world in a very reduced way.”
