A Topological Body


For the exhibition at the VISTA Science Experience Center, A Topological Body merges photography with an augmented 3D sculpture to make mathematical topology an immersive, experiential space. It draws on applied topology research by Herbert Edelsbrunner and Jan Maas at ISTA, with subtle references to Lygia Clark’s concept of the “organic line.”
