I recently came across this rather novel way of marrying mathematics and art. "Art can visually express words geometrically: lines as length, colour as dominance, circles as continuity, and triangles as stationery objects in space-time. Words finally have a real visual presence; a new way to be understood and appreciated," says artist-philosopher Apostolos Stefanopoulos.
Quotes are used from various philosophers, poets and playwrights, musicians and scientists, as per the artist's fancy. Here is one for example, from Nietzsche.Apostolos uses Python to code the words into art symbols. The results are compiled and printed on fine Hahnenuhle art paper.
It certainly is a new approach, and I am sure immensely satisfying for the artist, who is able to blend his interests in technology, philosophy, maths, art and design all in one exclusive offering.
