More and more, we find that mathematical research and artistic projects converge, with the artistic side inspiring the mathematical side and vice versa. Learn how our first font design led to the construction of transforming robots, and how studying curved creases in origami led to sculptures at MoMA. Mathematics itself is an art form and, through other media such as sculpture, puzzles, and magic, the beauty of mathematics can be brought to a wider audience.
