About our series of photos: Math sculptures in context
Most of our sculptures are based on stories and mathematics which developed over decades or even centuries.
With our series of photos called “math sculptures in context” we aim to highlight this particular feature of our work.
Boy and Möbius in the family room
The Moebius strip is a simple, but fascinating math object, with just one side and one connected boundary curve. Werner Boy's surface contains such strips!
The Cayley/Klein cubic with four singularities in the family room
Our modern version of Klein's historical cubic surface model with four singularities is the main figure in our photo from the series "math sculptures in context". It is the pure white version with its 9 straight lines.
Clebsch and Klein in the family room
It was back in the 1872 Göttingen, Germany, at a meeting of the scientific society. Alfred Clebsch and Felix Klein each presented a model of a cubic surface. Our modern versions of these historical - nowadays quite famous - sculptures are the main figures in our photo.
The Clebsch diagonal surface in the family room
Our modern version of Clebsch's historical - nowadays quite famous - diagonal surface model is the main figure in our photo from the series "math sculptures in context". It is the pure white version with the 27 straight lines.
