Hyperboic Crochet Exhibition at Trinity Science Gallery Runs until 11.06.10
This exhibition takes you through the worlds of science / art and craft. Crochet is used to replicate a mathematical formula that baffled mathematicians for years and although coral and many other sea creatures have been illustrating this formula for milennia through their curved and tubular designs it wasn't until a female mathematician Dr. Daina Taimina represented it through the art of crochet that it was fully understood in the world of mathematics. Her work inspired the two curators of Hyperbolic crochet coral reef to start a viral project of crocheters (99% female) world wide who are literally crocheting a coral reef. This exhibit is open at the science gallery now and is well worth a visit.
