Second Life

http://www.segerman.org/2ndlife.html

The Crooked House is in-world here. On May 30th 2009 I was interviewed on the Second Life talk show Tonight Live with Paisley Beebe. About my artwork. Here is a video. Asked me to help with the roof of a recreation of "Poème électronique", a pavillion they made for the 1958 Brussels World's Fair, on their island Philips. The roof is made from a number of hyperbolic paraboloids. That meet along straight lines. Oct 2008) "Rhombicosidodecahedron dual". Art Laxness. Made for a build for Wiley. Dec 2007) This...

Book Covers and Posters

http://www.segerman.org/colloq_posters.html

Book Covers and Posters. And I got talking about a cover for this text book, Number Theory Through Inquiry. Written with David C. Marshall and Edward Odell, published in December 2007 by the Mathematical Association of America. The result is a visual demonstration of the Chinese Remainder Theorem. The image was generated in part using various Python scripts to output individual cogs, and put together in Photoshop. The shading and embossing effects were all done using Photoshop. Since then I have collecte...

Wordlesque Dialogues

http://www.segerman.org/wordlesque.html

This is a joint project with Yla Tausczik. We wanted to do something similar, but have positions and colours of words be meaningful. February 2010) Here we are representing a dialogue in a way that uses the information of who said what. And now for something completely different: the same technique applied to Monty Python. S Dead Parrot sketch. It's easy to see that the customer talks more and with a greater variety of words than the shopkeeper. 169; Henry Segerman. Book Covers and Posters.

Miscellaneous Art

http://www.segerman.org/misc_art.html

This page is for the bits of artwork and other cool stuff that don't fit elsewhere. March 2010) These are two designs I entered into a competition run by Gizmodo. To make an image to be etched on the back of an iPad. They were made using Python (with graphics library PyX. Adobe Illustrator, the golden ratio, and a solution to a differential equation to ensure that the density of the apples is constant even as they get smaller. August 2003) One version of the logo for the Stanford Gaming Society. Particip...

About

http://www.segerman.org/about.html

I am currently an assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics at Oklahoma State University. I do research. In 3-dimensional geometry and topology, particularly involving ideal triangulations. I am interested in mathematical. I used to be active in the online 3-dimensional virtual world Second Life. Mostly for the artistic possibilities. I also juggle and (very occasionally) play Go. As a mathematical artist) (last updated Nov 2012). Please send email to this address. About the front page.

Escher's Printgallery at Stanford

http://www.segerman.org/printgallery

Escher's Printgallery at Stanford. This project is based on this one: Escher and the Droste effect. Sometime in 2002, Paul-Olivier. And I went to a lecture given by Hendrik Lenstra. Universiteit Leiden and previously UC Berkeley) about his investigations into Escher's Printgallery. At the Stanford math department. He initiated the project. With, and currently run by Bart de Smit. Also Universiteit Leiden) to recreate Escher's image and 'fill in the hole'. See their website. We did all the calculations to...

Diamond Go

http://www.segerman.org/diamond

Schematic of 286 intersection wire diamond. The wire diamond is a model of the structure of diamond. A diamond is made up of carbon atoms. Each carbon atom has bonds to four neighbouring carbon atoms. Each straight length of wire represents such a bond, and the intersections where four of such bonds meet represents a carbon atom. 84 intersection Wire Diamond. It is possible to consider the wire diamond as a work of art. Viewing it in different directions provides various attractive patterns. Analogous to...

Many of the designs listed below (and some not listed below! Are available on my shop webpage at Neatoshop. October 2012) This shows 30 of the 120 dodecahedra of the 120-cell, one of the regular 4-dimensional polytopes radially and then stereographically projected from R. This design is based on the solution to a puzzle that Saul Schleimer and I invented/discovered, and which is available. August 2012) This is an updated version of the design for the JuggleFest. On the left. The two knots are difficu...

Ambigrams

http://www.segerman.org/ambigrams.html

Ambigrams are lettering (usually a word or words) drawn in such a way that it can be interpreted in more than one way. The type I do most often are drawn so that they read the same if turned upside down, though reflections and other symmetries can also be done. July 2009) For The Clockwork Quartet. Sept 2007) My new math email address. At some point I'll get unlucky and not have a good solution for the "@". July 2004) Fractal. For the Stanford University Mathematics Camp.
