Patterning Pattern/ Figuring the Decorative

The Department of History of Art present this extraordinary event involving art historians, mathematicians, chemists, and digital theorists to think across disciplinary boundaries about Pattern and Decoration. 

This international collaboratory investigates the patterning of pattern / the figuring of decoration in different disciplines. How do different disciplines recognise, describe, resist, or utilise 'pattern' or 'decoration'? What status are they accorded? What new possibilities do they open up? What might be​ learn​ed​ from such 'patterns' of thinking about pattern/ adornment?

Everyone is welcome.
