As part of the "
Festival d'automne a Paris", composer
Ryoji Ikeda working alongside the mathematician
Benedict Gross attempts to find a common aesthetical language between art and mathematics.
According to Ikeda, "the purest beauty is the world of mathematics. Its perfect assemblage amongst numbers, magnitudes and forms persist despite us. The aesthetic experience of the sublime in mathematics is awe-inspiring. It is similar to the experience we have when we confront the vast magnitude of the universe, which always leaves us openmouthed".
