Math and Art: Bridges 2011, Coimbra

In honor of the Bridges Organization and its annual conference on Math and Art,  I will be posting about math, art, and their many intersections for the next two weeks.

The Bridges 2011 conference, held in Coimbra, Portugal, features prominent mathematicians and artists from around the world.  Fields’ Medalist William Thurston and the soon-to-be Museum of Mathematics‘ George Hart among others will be giving talks and presenting their art.  A program of select participants can be seen here:
