In Dialogue: Gregory Chaitin and Jeff Glassman

Gregory Chaitin and Jeff Glassman offer a dialogue between patterns. Chaitin is a mathematician whose work centers on the question of whether mathematics is mechanical or creative. Glassman, in collaboration with Lisa Fay, composes and performs for the stage in a way that is closely analogous to musical composition, including techniques for the orchestration of contextual shifts of time and place in complex patterns that he calls ‘pivoting’.

This event is presented as part of In Dialogue,  a new series of performative dialogues between experts in diverse fields in conjunction with the exhibition As it were… so to speak: A Museum Collection in dialogue with Barbara Bloom. Each evening concentrates on a different aspect of “dialogue,” pairing speakers demonstrating theory and practice. Unlike in traditional conversation the speakers do not engage with one another, instead each addresses the subject at hand and the audience members directly. These events are in partnership with the New School for Public Engagement.
