The Mathemalchemy project became in 2020 an exciting collaborative enterprise, driven by the energy and enthusiasm of twenty-four mathematical artists and artistic mathematicians including BU’s Research Assistant Professor, Dr. Li-Mei Lim. After more than a year of meeting only remotely and fabricating components in their separate locations, they met in the summer of 2021 and built a large multimedia art installation that celebrates the creativity and beauty of mathematics.
