Mathemalchemy

Mathemalchemy

A large-scale collaborative mathematical art installation conceived by Ingrid Daubechies and Dominique Ehrmann, combining contributions from over two dozen mathematicians and artists. The installation — a richly detailed miniature world celebrating mathematics — premiered at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C. in 2022 and toured the US and internationally through 2025. Featured in the New York Times (March 2025).

Zip-Form

A computation-and-fabrication system for creating curved architectural forms by zipping flat-cut pieces together. Developed with architect Emily Baker at the University of Arkansas, Zip-Form pairs mathematical formulations for parallel transport with a simple jig-based assembly process, enabling complex 3D curves from plasma-cut steel and basic tools. The work spans a permanent public sculpture, papers at AAG and IASS, and an ongoing collaboration on shape-optimised concrete formwork.
