The first event I went to was the Infinity Structures: Paradoxical Spaces by Robert Gero
Exhibition at CNSI. Being my first event, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it
was a really interesting exhibition. His exhibit exemplified the connection of
mathematics and art. He used perspective to really bring out the infinity
aspect of the piece. He also had to calculate the sp
He describes his piece as
having a “stable exterior and an infinitely expanding interior”. The idea seems
to defy laws of science, how can an object with a solid exterior or finite
boundaries have an interior that is continuously being expanded? With the
projections, it made it seem possible, and the sounds in the background gave it
a very interesting vibe that made you feel like the room was moving or
constantly changing.
One thing that I noticed that
caught my eye were the pillows in the piece. The pillows were all dark and
placed randomly throughout the piece. They contrasted with the white walls and
the piece. When I asked Gero what purpose the pillows served, he told me that
he liked to “localize the space” by connecting the piece with what is already
there. The pillows were originally in the room, so he decided to connect the
two together. I thought it was so relevant and important that he did this, to
connect the 2 spaces and create something completely new.
I would recommend this
exhibit because it was an interesting combination of many topics that we
learned about and also because it brings light to advancement in art, science,
and our understanding of dimension. His piece reminded me of what I would
imagine 4 dimensional space to look like because of the continuous growth in
different directions. Gero is also full of insight and it was a pleasure
talking to him about his piece.
