Abstract

 

In this article, based on Bruno Latour’s analysis in the book Research on modes of existence, I investigate some relationships between the Calvinian literary categories of lightness, speed, accuracy, visibility, multiplicity and consistency, transferring them to different artistic and scientific contexts and highlighting the exchange flows at the borders between the different territories of artistic and mathematical knowledge, in particular.

Compared, the works of some contemporary artists (Joseph Beuys, Michele Guido, Silvia Hell, Roni Horn, Armin Linke, Mark Lombardi, Sergio Lombardo, Sol Lewitt, Bruno Munari, Jackson Pollock, Tomas Saraceno, Luigi Veronesi) and the works of the Contemporary mathematicians

Alexander Groetendieck and Fernando Zalamea reveal epistemological reciprocity based on the expansion of human perception.

Using the methods of pragmatic philosophy, through the use of the world-leaf and the existential graphics of Charles Peirce, the logic of analogies, similarities and dialectical contrasts and intuitionist logic, emerge, in the works studied, the phenomenological relationships between the expressive elements of the works of the investigated artists and the current meanings, linked to the different disciplinary fields.

Finally, with the tools offered by the A / R / Tography, a map of relationships between the iconic elements, the Calvinian categories and the mathematical concepts of homothety, isomorphism, list, network, surface, stochastic process is drawn.
