Jonty Hurwitz: Generation Pi - Launch with TALK by Jonty Hurwitz

How X plus Y became Pi: The spread of algorithms creating cyber reality from abstract data

Jonty Hurwitz’s anamorphic sculptures have taken the world by storm, with over 20 million online impressions in the first ten days after images were released in January 2013. The mathematically derived sculptures are about illusion and reality - at first glance appearing abstract, but in mirrored reflections, representational. The series is a study on the physics of how the human brain perceives space based on Einstein’s theory E=mc2 (energy, mass and the speed of light) and represents the birth of a new era: Generation Pi. The official launch at Kinetica Art Fair is combined with a talk by the award-winning artist-scientist Jonty Hurwitz.
