Developed in
collaboration with Oxford’s world-renowned Mathematical Institute, this
exhibition invites visitors to explore what it means to move in one, two, three
and more dimensions. Using stunning Islamic ceramics, prehistoric carvings and
Renaissance prints alongside virtual reality technology, embark on a journey of
discovery from ancient cultures into cutting-edge science.
Starting from the
single point of zero dimensions to the infinite dimensions of theoretical
mathematics, the exhibition explores what it means to experience and represent
the patterns and spaces of our complex three-dimensional world.
The exhibition will
be accompanied by a range of other exhibitions and events across Oxford in 2019
as part of the Thinking 3D research project.
THINKING WITH THINGS
"Here we see
the first example of abstract thought at work"
Could these stone
balls, carved in the late Neolithic or early Bronze Age, have been made by
ancient mathematicians? Professor Marcus Du Sautoy takes a closer look.
VIRTUAL REALITY IN
THE EXHIBITION
Please note that
this video has no sound.
Developed by the
Oxford Mathematical Institute, the VR experience gives visitors to the
exhibition a chance explore shapes in one, two, three and more dimensions.
