What happens when we try to draw, fold, and visualize objects in four dimensions? Join mathematician Satyan Devadoss for a fascinating journey beyond the limits of ordinary space, inspired by the art of Marcel Duchamp and Salvador Dalí.

Through striking visual imagery, you'll explore shapes and drawings in higher dimensions, uncover a geometric mystery dating back to Renaissance master Albrecht Dürer, and discover how ideas about folding and unfolding shapes connect to everything from airbag design to the James Webb Space Telescope. Together we'll investigate tesseracts, higher-dimensional cubes, and the surprising mathematics of what can—and cannot—be unfolded.

This event is presented as a part of Math Out Loud, SUMM's new public lecture series designed to bring engaging mathematical ideas to life.
