Antichron by Bathsheba Grossman is a piece of art that delves into the intriguing world of mathematical sculpture, embodying concepts of geometry and time in a physical form, merging mathematical precision with artistic expression.
Antichron's elegant symmetry – it has the group consisting of the three half rotations around each axis – make it a favorite with mathematicians and laity alike.
The term "Antichron" suggests a theme related to time, potentially playing with the concept in an unconventional way. "Anti-" usually means against or opposite, and "chron" refers to time (from the Greek "chronos"). So, "Antichron" might evoke ideas or forms that challenge our usual perceptions of time or represent time in a non-linear or abstract manner.
Antichron could incorporate geometric shapes or structures that symbolize the complexity and fluidity of time. This might include using patterns or designs that repeat in unexpected ways or creating forms that seem to change as you view them from different angles, reflecting the mutable nature of time.
Antichron might visually or conceptually represent dimensions beyond our ordinary experience, perhaps hinting at the idea that time is a dimension that can be twisted, turned, or viewed from multiple perspectives.
