Probably a bit out of the way for most of you, but the artwork is  
spectacular and well worth admiring.

> IMAGINARY is a project by the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut  
> Oberwolfach.  Its intention is to display visualizations,  
> interactive installations, virtual realities, 3D objects and their  
> theoretical background in algebraic geometry, singularity theory and  
> differential geometry in an attractive and understandable manner.   
> IMAGINARY was presented in 14 German cities (as part of the 2008  
> year of mathematics in Germany) and attracted more than 220,000  
> visitors.
>
> You can peruse the catalog in the lounge, to get a glimpse of some  
> of the other works in the series.
>
> This is part of the first exhibition in the US, at MSRI and Stanford.

> And please e-mail me if something series goes amiss!
