-------- Original Message -------- Subject: invitation part two april 1st 2010 Date: Mon, 22 Mar 2010 15:06:44 +0100 From: Sabrina Basten <[email protected]> To: sabrina <[email protected]> Invitation for the second part of the project: 'my space, your space, our space: my space' March 6th till June 3rd 2010 Opening April 1st at 20:00 at Meent 131, Rotterdam Presentation by Dr. José María Viña Rebolledo at 19:00 ** Hidden patterns in Nature: how we reveal them, how we keep them hidden, or how we create them. Abstract: Our understanding of Nature is limited by the constrains of our preconceptions of the World, but both evolve together since we are born: we learn more the more flexible our minds become. This process also occurs along history: we will see some examples of drastic changes in our understanding of things connected to breakthroughs in our geometrical models. (It is hard to determine what came first, though). We will talk about fractals, exotic structures that we suddenly find everywhere: from remote galaxies to Earth landscapes, clouds and vegetation; even in artistic works, like Pollock's. A big risk exists all the time: that we tend to project these structures and models that we build in our mind into the World around us, conferring them existence. Like that, our models become frozen, static, and we suffer from a new period of partial blindness.
