Abstract
The exhibit “esthétopies” gathers artworks representing spaces from contemporary mathematics, which are called 3-manifolds. These representations are based on research at the interface of pure mathematics and informatics, which solved problems opened by Thurston's school at the Geometry Center in the 90's. The artworks aim to offer new sensitive explorations and to present the unsayable of mathematical features (geodesic flows, sonorities of manifolds, topological surgery etc.). Some of these artworks were produced in collaborations with the artists Pierre-Yves Fave, Sergio Krakowski, Vincent Martial and Jimena Royo-Letelier. http://esthetopies.ihp.fr/
