The Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts will open an exhibition entitled "Symmetry and Transformations" this Friday.
The show includes photographs, three dimensional modals, and motion pictures illustrating symmetries that recur both in nature and abstract geometrical shapes. Besides their aesthetic appeal, these symmetries help predict the behavior of matter under extreme conditions of temperature and pressure.
For these interested in the technicalities the exhibit raises questions about "expressions of order and system in space and time, namely with the symmetry of regular and semi-regular mossics and polyhydra, and with the transformations and interrelations between these ordered structures."
Others may just come to look.
