SETI Live: Takween: Geometry and Creation (A SETI AIR conversation)

A Conversation with SETI Artist in Residence Zeinab Alhashemi

Could the codes of creation be embedded in geometry? Dubai-based SETI Artist in Residence Zeinab Alhashemi is exploring how the patterns that exist in nature connect to art, mathematics, and spirituality. Zeinab sees geometry as a universal language that brings together culture and science. She has become known for her large-scale, contemporary art installations that deconstruct the viewer’s understanding of their surroundings and introduce an alternative point of view. Her most recent work is the kinetic sculpture Takween, which is is currently being exhibited at the Dubai 2020 expo. Based on the ancient motif of the Viscia Pisces, it symbolizes creation, time, and the celestial spheres.
