Kunst der Kurven / Art of the Curves

Kunst der Kurven

Kunst der Kurven (Art of Curves) is a mix between an installation, workshop and a performance dealing with the topic of visualisation, sonification and enactment of algebraic structures known under the name of Elliptic Curves (EC). ECs are fundamental for modern asymmetric cryptography, cryptocurrencies and related computational worlds, but for those who know these Abelian varieties better, they can also be regarded as beautiful structures on their own. Seemingly chaotic at first sight, ECs encode and exhibit certain symmetries which can be visualised – or even sonified – to produce results of non-negligible artistic and aesthetic value.
