March 7, 2025. My daughter  Isabel Rucker had an art show on “The Time Ecosystem“at the one-of-a-kind Larry Spring Museum in Fort Bragg, California. Larry Spring was what you might call a folk scientist and an outsider artist. For Isabel’s show, she formed fresh ideas about  notions of time, and how they mix together.  She and I presented a conversation about her ideas, bringing in the fourth dimension as well. About 40 of us. We sat on rows of low benches, outdoors, at dusk, bundled up, philosophers all.  The event was backed by the Redwood Time Project of the Spring Museum, the museum director Maureen McKeating, and resident museum artist Anne Beck.

August 1, 2022. I was invited to give a plenary lecture at the Bridges group’s “Mathematics & Art” conference in Helsinki, Finland. Over my long career, I’ve used math, computer graphics, writing, and painting as ways to express myself, and to get clearer images of certain things that interest me.  Four channels, all looking at the same thing. Mathematical logic, fractals, science fiction, post-pop surrealism. It was good for me to give this talk, as I’d never quite realized that for me it’s all the same thing.  A draft of the talk appears with the slides in my previous blog post.  To hear the audio alone, press the button below to hear “Logic, Gnarl, Writing, Painting.”

Alternately, you can play a video of the talk on YouTube, and the video includes the slides.
