GAMES & ART:
The 'magic cube' and 'God's number'
Hungarian architect Erno Rubik's cube was the colorful puzzle game that hit schools in the 80ies. 30 years later, mathematicians and computer-programmers have found out that all 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 positions of the cube can be solved in 20 (God's number) moves or less. The team of researchers consists of Morley Davidson, a mathematician from Kent State University, John Dethridge, an engineer at Google in Mountain View, Herbert Kociemba, math teacher from Darmstadt, Germany, and Tomas Rokicki, a programmer from Palo Alto, California. "Rubik's Cube was an icon of the 80s when I was growing up and was the reason I went into mathematics," says Morley Davidson in the interview with BBC reporter Jonathan Fildes on http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-10929159.
Writers' workshop in the Austrian High-Alps
Fashionoffice received the announcement that creative heads (between 15 and 19 years old) are invited to the writers' workshop 'Eisenmann sprich!' - which means translated from German 'Ironman speak!' - from 17 to 19 August at an Alpine hut (Widdersteinhütte) in the Austrian High-Alps. German language author Daniela Egger supports the creative ideas for monologues of Antony Gormley's 'Ironmen' becoming literature. The texts will be presented in autumn at the Kunsthaus Bregenz. Contact Kirsten Helfrich at www.kunsthaus-bregenz.at for more information.
An artist's materialisation of 'Les Fleurs du Mal' (1857) by Charles Baudelaire
Fashionoffice received the program for the next exhibitions at the Sculpture Center in New York, beginning with Lara Schnitger's installation 'Two Masters and Her Vile Perfume' (13 Sept - 29 Nov). The installation reflects the artist's view on Charles Baudelaire's 'Flowers of Evil'. The poem collection was considered scandalous in the 19th century as Charles Baudelaire touched the themes sex, death, lesbianism, and corruption; fragrances are for Baudelaire a mean to remember past times.
