DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20130403 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20130405 LOCATION:New York, U.S.A. DESCRIPTION:Lectures by and conversations among tw enty-five mathematicians, artists, art historians, philosophers, and architects together with screen ings of artist's films by Andy Goldsworthy (New Yo rk premiere), David Hammons, Richard Serra, Andy W arhol, and William Wegman. To find "criteria of simplicity" was the goal of David Hilbert's recent ly discovered twenty-fourth problem on his renowne d list of open problems given at the 1900 Internat ional Congress of Mathematics in Paris. At the sam e time, simplicity and economy of means are powerf ul impulses in the creation of artworks. Recogni zing the aesthetic nature of Hilbert's question, t his conference aims to focus on criteria of simpli city in mathematics that are informed by perspecti ves from art and architecture, the philosophy and history of mathematics, and current mathematical p ractice.
