Artribune podcast explores art and mathematics with Loris Cecchini and Gigliola Staffilani
Artribune has released a new episode of its podcast 'Contemporaneamente', curated by Mariantonietta Firmani, featuring artist Loris Cecchini and mathematician Gigliola Staffilani. The conversation bridges art and mathematics, discussing equations, representations, algorithms, Euclidean spaces, and the paradox of making abstract math accessible. Staffilani, an Abby Rockefeller Mauzé Professor of Mathematics at MIT since 2007, earned her PhD from the University of Chicago in 1999 and has taught at Stanford, Princeton, and Brown. She is a member of the National Academy of Sciences (2021) and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2014). Cecchini, a prominent Italian artist based in Milan and Berlin, has exhibited at Palais de Tokyo, MoMA PS1, and multiple Venice Biennales (49th, 51st, 56th). His permanent installations are at Villa Celle, Palazzo Strozzi, and Cleveland Clinic's Arts & Medicine Institute. The podcast also touches on machine learning, public art, and the intrinsic quality of luxury.
