About SCULPT

The SCULPT track: “Shape Creation Using Layouts, Programs, & Technology” is the successor of the former FASE track (“Fabrication and Sculpting Event”) at SMI. SCULPT is focused on original research on the theory and practice of shape design, sculpting, and architecture. It includes the physical realization of the envisioned shapes via tentative mock-up constructions, sketching, computer-aided modeling, constructivist assembly of parts, or 3D-printing. The presented work may have an underlying algorithmic or mathematical basis, and it may also address the inverse process of obtaining a clean CAD model from a given physical artifact.

We invite you to submit your original work for exhibition at the SCULPT event, where we will showcase the theory and practice of shape design, sculpting, and architecture. Accepted works will be digitally showcased in the exhibition section of SCULPT 2025. Review criteria for Virtual Exhibition include: (1) Mathematical content; (2) Aesthetic appeal; (3) Medium; (4) Craftsmanship; (5) Innovation and originality; and (6) Artist statement and artwork description.

Submission for Virtual Exhibition

We invite you to submit your original work for exhibition at the SCULPT event, where we will showcase the theory and practice of shape design, sculpting, and architecture. Accepted works will be digitally showcased in the exhibition section of SCULPT 2025.

  • Submissions Deadline:
    the 29th of September 2025.
  • Submission form is editable until the deadline.
  • Notification of acceptance:

  • Notification of acceptance will be made via email
  • Date of presentations is
    Friday, Seventh of November 2025.

Review Criteria

Review criteria include:
  • Mathematical content (This is a mathematically sophisticated audience.)
  • Aesthetic appeal (This is admittedly highly subjective.)
  • Medium (A variety of media will make for a more dynamic exhibit.)
  • Craftsmanship (The level of skill and effort that goes into making an effective presentation of the idea.)
  • Innovation and originality (Pushing mathematical art in new directions.)
  • Artist statement and artwork description (Written statements should be clear and on point.)

Virtual Exhibition

Artists of accepted work are expected to give a presentation online on Zoom in a special scheduled online Show and Tell session. We will record the video of the presentation. The text and images from the submission will be turned into a permanent Virtual Exhibition. We will create a website similar to the art exhibitions of Bridges and Joint Mathematical Meeting. For submission, a short description of the work and one or more images or videos are good enough.
