My secret love (of math) has a date at the MOCA

Those who know me well may be able to tell you that deep down, I really really love mathematics. I almost majored in math, actually, and then decided on the more practical computer science. And after that I ended up getting an art degree. Go figure.

But in all seriousness I do find there is a huge playground of overlap between the two, art and math. Which is why I'm excited about going to this new exhibit coming up at the MOCA.

Boolean Valley is an installation which is the collaborative work of potter Adam Silverman and architect Nader Tehrani. The room-sized piece consists of hundreds of clay objects by Silverman, formed and arranged according to an algorithm developed by Tehrani.

What interests me about this piece is that, even though the design for the piece is generated by a computer, the piece in the end is still handmade, in a very traditional medium.

More information can be found on the MOCA's website.
