Tögal (Tib., Wyl. thod rgal), translated as 'direct crossing', 'the direct approach' or 'leapover', can very quickly bring the actual realization of the three kayas in this lifetime, and thus is a more rapid way of bringing about the dissolution of the practitioner's karmic vision. The practice

Persistence & Vision is a video animation project that explores science from the perspectives of undergraduate research students at the University of Manitoba. It celebrates their work and the questions they are trying to answer, enhances the communication of science across disciplines, and delves i

The young quantum physicist Konstantin teaches at university and during summer vacation he goes to a university's sea campus. Every day he teaches for a group of students, and at night he keeps order in he dormitory. Students prefer summer, girls and their own youth instead of physics. Like a fish o

The stop motion animation is the artist's personal attempt to portray infinity "with colour – with sound". The concept of infinity is both fascinating and frustrating. How can something be infinite? Is there something beyond infinite? Infinity can be approached with imagination or mathematics

Nature, said Galileo, is a book written in the language of mathematics. Fast-forward 400 years and mathematics has become the essential tool for driving human progress and innovation. From a stand up comedian to a professional juggler this film puts together science communicators who you would not e

A shorthand study of the mythology of numbers, from 1 to 12. Scientific tradition is adopted then eschewed for rumours, legends and defunct theories from across the ages. The camera pens a year-long record of space, movement and the passing of time in historic locations around the world. This almana

A young man explores various space: office, apartment, laboratory... He encounters the inhabitants of this space and makes himself at home. Edgar Morin, Jean-Claude Carrière, Stéphane Douady… The discussion is about the process of creation. The interviews interlace, create a dia

A team of mathematicians is working together on a big project. Excitement of discovery, hope and disappointment, competition and recognition are shown from an infinitely close distance. Scientists united by the idea of discretization, which, in short, means: constructing continuous objects from basi

A well meaning math teacher finds herself trumped by a post-fact America.

A sample of my poetry planet countup, Planet Six. A collage film that counts up from Sun Zero to Saturn Six, culled from archival math and science films, and an homage to space activity and historical representations of it. It is part of a live cinema performance that ends with spoken word and violi

Set between a children's play town that playfully delivers sincere propositions for a collective logic of political imagination. Drawing from anti-bias curricula alongside radical positions on colonial and historical debts, 10 – 3 = 13 offers a lesson on the 'misinvention' of negative numbers.

To me you were neither arithmetic of love, simple and pure, nor algebra of feelings, moved by factors such as boredom, convenience or fear elements of the granitic equations. Family and Future. In a life which is a continuous division by zero dominated by transforms and curves gone mad over Cartesia

La Motte-Chalancon, Drôme provençale, Winter 2016. A black-cloaked figure paces the narrow, crooked streets of the medieval village, as if straight out of a gothic film: muttering mathematical formulae, Patrice Jeener is taking us to his house, where he introduces us to his work –

Summoned to a remote warehouse by the enigmatic Fermat, four brilliant mathematicians are given pseudonyms -- Galois, Hilbert, Olivia and Pascal -- and tasked with solving highly complex numerical riddles. As the apparent strangers struggle to solve the puzzles and determine why they are there, the

Wearing well is a collaboration between Enrico Milanese, Researcher in Computational Solid Mechanics and Markos Kay, Computational Artist. The film visually reimagines Milanese's research whereby the microscopic effects of contact and wear between materials are studied through the use of high-perfor

The world has become unimaginably complex. Digital presence has reframed and re-narrated individuals; re-created new forms or archives and revolutionized historiographies. The digital and contemporary practices of reading and writing have reshaped literature and our relation with text. Internet comm

Confronted with the evidence that the Earth is not eternal, Ernesto is inspired by the Metatron´s shape to design his own alternative universe. Obsessed by how he and his project will be recorded, he has the certainty that only the ideas and not the creator should transcend.

Trapped in a mysterious room, four brilliant minds must race against time to prevent a cosmic collapse of the universe.

Many people believe that mathematics and science somehow detract from the beauty of nature. We respectfully disagree – for science has shown that nature is mathematics and mathematics nature. With the right kind of eyes, flowers are no longer just flowers and stars are no longer just stars. Ra

There is something between lines and words

A short animated film about the weather – inspired and informed by chaos theory and Lorenz attractors, romantic landscape paintings and the minimalist polygonal look of early computer simulations.

Almost everyone thinks they understand art. Almost no one believes that they understand theoretical physics and modern mathematics. Both worlds collide and influence each other during the art competition MATH CREATIONS. Modern math lectures interpreted by modern artists.

Is there a mathematical formula for love without death? The film "Rites of Love and Math" is a sprawling allegory about Truth and Beauty, Love and Death, Mathematics and Tattoo, set on the stage of Japanese Noh theater.
