David A. Reimann is an artist and a professor who combines his expertise in mathematics and computer science with art to create visually engaging pieces that embody mathematical principles. His work centers around using geometric shapes, patterns, and numbers to build often complex visual representations that reveal more details as viewers change their perspective. Reimann’s work emphasizes themes like symmetry and repetition, and it shows how simple shapes can transform into intricate designs that reflect the interconnectedness and balance inherent in mathematics. This combinations invites viewers to engage with his art on many levels, experiencing different aspects of the work depending on their distance and perspective, making each viewing a unique exploration of the mathematical concepts depicted.
In our extension, we created a fractal that represents a person's full (average length) life. Each level zooms in to show the next measurement unit of time. It goes from years to month to days to hours to minutes to seconds. The idea behind this fractal is to demonstrate the interconnectedness of everything in our lives and how there are endless ways to make connections between everyday tasks and life experiences.The full sequence of zooming in can be seen in the slides.
