Roger Antonsen’s art exhibition,
Emerging Complexity, is a journey into algorithmic art, where simple mathematical rules unfold into intricate and beautiful structures—visualizations that are both intellectually stimulating and visually stunning. Roger’s work celebrates the elegance and complexity that can emerge from playing with assumptions, inviting the viewer to see mathematics not just as an abstract discipline, but as a profound source of creativity and wonder.
"Many believe mathematics is only about calculations, formulas, numbers, and strange letters. But mathematics is much more than just crunching numbers or manipulating symbols. Mathematics is about discovering patterns, uncovering hidden structures, finding counterexamples, and thinking logically. Mathematics is a way of thinking. It is an activity that is both highly creative and challenging." — Roger Antonsen, 2014
This art exhibit is co-sponsored by the University of Virginia School of Data Science.
