Collaborating with an Artist in Digital Geometry

In this invited paper, we are going to present an ongoing collaboration with a local artist, Aurélie Mourier. The artist works with voxel shapes and this led our digital geometry team to develop new shape modeling tools and explore a particular class of unfolding problems.

Dancing with black holes

We describe efforts over the last six years to implement regularization methods suitable for studying one or more interacting black holes by direct N-body simulations. Three different methods have been adapted to large-N systems: (i) Time-Transformed Leapfrog, (ii) Wheel-Spoke, and (iii) Algorithmic Regularization. These methods have been tried out with some success on GRAPE-type computers. Spe...

Dancing with your ride

The technologies that make this possible are those of miniaturized electronics, digital communications, inexpensive distributed computation, and advanced control software. They enable us to get rid of most of the junk that currently encumbers automobiles – engines, power trains, dashboards, and steering wheels. They allow us to define a fundamentally new, radically restructured architecture for...

Colour neglect in an artist.

Sir—Drawing ability could be disrupted by many neurological disorders, of which graphic neglect after unilateral brain damage (generally of right parietal cortex) is most frequent. In this disorder, patients draw preferentially on the right side of the paper, omit and deform objects on the left side, but judge their drawings to be complete. Graphic neglect can become especially evident in the w...
