Zeta 2 LUNA Rising

My project for LUNA Rising at Toronto's Crescent School this year is a video projection/performance Untitled (Zeta 2), which is inspired by the evaluation of the Riemann zeta function at 2:


I performed the calculation of the sum by placing adhesive vinyl squares successively on to the floor during the event evening while at the same time a projector screen and 24 computer monitors were displaying animated colours generated from the digits of π.  The installation was enlivened by mathematician/composer Tim Doyle's music Goya's Light.  The annual LUNA event was for one evening only.
