St. Paul Revisited by Music, Fine Arts, and Mathematics

Presenter: Franziska Leonhardi and Stefan E. Schmidt

Professor for Methods of Applied Algebra, Dresden University of Technology, GermanyThis talk gives insight into an interdisciplinary art project by the artist Franziska Leonhardi together with Jonas Leonhardi and Thomas & Stefan E. Schmidt - in collaboration with Immanuel Albrecht & Maximilian Marx et al. from the Institute of Algebra at Dresden University of Technology. Here, a major challenge was a visualization of the oratorio St. Paul by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. The underlying question was how to visualize music and how deaf people can benefit from this.
