数学が芸術に出会うとき | アルビンド・スンダル | TEDxKCT

現代アーティストのアルヴィンド・スンダールが、幾何学、数学、宇宙論を手がかりに、数学・偶然性・芸術の交差について語るトークです。ハンピの古代のゲーム盤や寺院建築から、アルゴリズムに基づくチェスの構造、インドの伝統工芸における共同制作へと話が進みます。パターン、確率、複雑性が芸術表現と人間の思考をどう形作るかが考察されています。TEDxKCTのイベントの一環として、地域のコミュニティが独立して主催した公演です。

• ハンピの古代ゲーム盤と寺院建築
• チェス、コーディング、アルゴリズム構造
• 芸術におけるパターン、確率、複雑性

What happens when mathematics, chance, and art begin to intersect? Drawing from temple architecture, chess, coding, and traditional Indian crafts, Arvind Sundar explores how patterns, probability, and complexity shape both artistic expression and human thought. Through a journey that moves from ancient game boards in Hampi to algorithmic chess structures and collaborative craftsmanship, this talk reveals the unexpected connections between logic, creativity, and the hidden mathematics embedded in the world around us. Arvind Sundar is a contemporary artist exploring geometry, mathematics, and cosmology as systems to understand infinity, order, and uncertainty. Working across drawing, painting, sculpture, and installation, he translates grids, ratios, and sequences into meditative visual forms through rule-based processes balancing control and chance. He holds an MFA in Painting and Drawing from the University of Cincinnati (2018) and completed advanced coursework at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He was awarded the Wolstein Travel Fellowship to study Renaissance art in Italy. Sundar has exhibited across India, the United States, Europe, and South Korea, including at the Contemporary Art Centre (Cincinnati), Art Dubai, Cholamandal Artists’ Village, and the Busan Art Fair. He has also participated in India Art Fair. His solo exhibitions include COSMOS (2024) and Chasing Infinity (2025), exploring chess, mathematics, and cosmic systems. He has delivered talks at ICTS Bengaluru. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
