Exhibition

A Trip into the Fourth Dimension

The fourth dimension is a topic of great interest, and not only to mathematicians! In fact we can find enthralling presentations of the fourth dimension in literature, cinema, arts and architecture: from “Flatland” by Edwin A. Abbott to science fiction literature, from “Corpus Hypercubicus” by Salvador Dalě to the Parisian Great Arches. This exhibition proposes an idea of what mathematicians mean by the “fourth dimension” and takes you through some imaginative exercises so that you can have a hands-on experience of the freedom and the imagination that can be connected to abstraction.
The route of the exhibition will include a spectacular video projection taking the public into a 120-cells creation made up of 120 dodecahedron surfaces. The exhibition also presents remarkable objects of outstanding visual impact such as several three-dimensional representations of a hypercube.
