We are announcing a new "let's get out of the room" event where we walk around art galleries exploring the math in art.
This is a collaboration between Noisebridge and SudoRoom, but since we are on lu.ma now we are attracting people who I think are not part of our hackerspaces. This is a nice way to get folks to learn about hacking!

Theme: Where is the math in art?

SudoRoom and Noisebridge hackerspaces will be converging on the SF Moma during  Downtown San Francisco First Thursdays to interweave math, life, art and more!

Schedule

We'll begin at the SF Moma the new Kara Walker installation Fortuna and the Immortality Garden (Machine), which is in part inspired by science fiction writer Octavia Butler's novels Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents.

The piece is on view at the SF Moma, which is is free for Bay Area residentson the first Thursday each month!

We could start by talking about how mathematical ways of thinking resemble and differ from the "Earthseed" philosophy from the Parable books, which the narrator at one point describes like this:

I’m trying to speak—to write—the truth. I’m trying to be clear. I’m not interested in being fancy, or even original. Clarity and truth will be plenty, if I can only achieve them. If it happens that there are other people outside somewhere preaching my truth, I’ll join them. Otherwise, I’ll adapt where I must, take what opportunities I can find or make, hang on, gather students, and teach.
