Seeing the Invisible and Feeling the Intangible: In Search of New Formats for Communicating Mathematics and Theoretical Physics
Lecture series MUSIC, THE ARTS & MATH
EKATERINA EREMENKO (Institute of Mathematics, Technical University of Berlin, GER)
Cinema is, first and foremost, a visual art, while mathematics and theoretical physics are primarily intellectual pursuits. How can the work of scientists be visualized and presented through cinematic means? In science, a clearly posed question can sometimes stand in the way of a successful solution.
For nearly fifteen years, Ekaterina Eremenko has been exploring this challenge in her films. In her lecture, she will present examples from her diverse body of work, approaching the problem from multiple perspectives.
Ekaterina Eremenko is graduated with honours in mathematics from Lomonosov Moscow State University and later from the VGIK Film Institute. She then took part in the Discover Campus Master School programme. She has directed—and in some cases produced numerous documentaries, some of which were co-produced by BBC, ARTE, ZDF, MDR, RBB, YLE, and many other international television channels. Among her awards are the Grand Prix at the Science Film Festival in Olomouc and the German Mathematical Society’s Prize for the Popularisation of Mathematics.
