Life, Statistics and Art
Since ancient times fortune or misfortune has inspired great art.
Commerce and Art shared many techniques during medieval and renaissance
periods. More recently artists derided the ideas from statistical
physics and countered by producing "Art of the Absurd". Some used random
processes to create art. The talk will be about interactions between art
and measurement.
