Polynomiography and its demo software will be featured at the workshop.

This DIMACS workshop will be a three-day exploration focusing on some special cases of what may be characterized as algorithmic mathematical art and its applications. We wish to promote potential fusion between mathematics, computer science, art and visualization, leading to measurable consequences for various practitioners in mathematics, art, education, and sciences. Topics include mathematically-rooted, algorithmically-conducted approaches to computer graphics, visualization, painting, sculpturing, drawing, and other visual arts.

The workshop will include invited and contributed talks as well as hands-on activities. In particular, the participants will be introduced to Polynomiography and its software at a computer lab. There will be an informal exhibit area for display of artwork of the participants. We encourage participation of mathematicians, scientists, artist, and educators.
