The timeless journey of the Möbius strip: circulation and transposition into different artistic mediums
Year: 2024
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: From the twentieth century up to the present, the Möbius strip has been translated from mathematics into other fields, such as visual arts, design and architecture. Due to the versatility of allegorical and spiritual meanings it can mediate, this surface describing an abstract topological space has been assimilated in various artistic fields and materialities, especially in contemporary art. Thus, the Möbius strip stands out as a binder-motif that becomes a transposable concept with the potential to create new constellations of association and meaning, making connections between various disciplines, such as visual arts, architecture, design, literature, mathematics or psychology.
