Uhm, I'm also curious to learn more about the catalogue content.. I
heard about a similar study regarding beauty in human faces, based on
mathematical formulas...
Waiting to find out more...
cheers..

I will be going in the next two weeks and report more on the math and
exhibit. I'll report back to the group.
There are a number of mathematical models in the user interface research
area on complexity and aesthetics. I'll try to dig those up.

manipulating emotions is always interesting but what makes it emotion, I
guess, and apart from all reasoning minds, is its spontaneous and impulsive
nature. Though I guess there should be loads of constraints and limits to
define beauty mathematically!

I think at our cognitive core we are pattern recognition beings.
While Brock seems a little bullish on his theories I dont think its a
stretch to say Math can be applied to the manipulation of some basic
constructs such as a the golden ratio or Fibonacci series and result
in automated
I think it's perfectly reasonable to assume that since our brains are
99.9% the same, that there is an underlying physics which will predict
why we find something beautiful. Look at the pop song hit-prediction
software - it's been proven to be accurate up to a limit. That limit
is probably a
I saw the exhibit. Theory aside, this was one of the worst exhibits I
have seen at the MFA or any art museum. The objects simply were not
interesting. The forms and compositions were banal. There was very
little in the presentation of the exhibit that incorporated the
mathematical theory.
