![]() In addition to the countries that kept increasing the list of exhibitions, that year IMAGINARY made its first long-term agreement with the Spanish mathematical society (RSME), which has since brought the IMAGINARY exhibition to 17 Spanish cities. In 2010, IMAGINARY was oficially promoted from an exhibition to a platform for math communication. It was then decided that all the exhibition should be made available under open licenses and spreaded with the partnership model. In November, in Kiev, it was set the first IMAGINARY exhibition organized independently of the original Oberwolfach team. In 2009 the exhibition started traveling abroad, setting stages in Austria, United States, and more German cities. The first IMAGINARY exhibition was launched on December 2007 in Munich and visited 13 cities in Germany during 2008.Īfter the year of mathematics was over, the exhibition faced a new stage. The program SURFER was developed for the occasion, and other software and images from German mathematicians was added to create the exhibition "Through the eyes of mathematics". The project was created with the occasion of the German Year of Mathematics 2008, when the MFO was asked to prepare an exhibition for the general public showing advanced and recent mathematics, keeping it artistic and appealing. 3.2 Snapshots of modern mathematics from Oberwolfach.3.1 IMAGINARY discovery box (Entdeckerbox).2.5 The 10 Minute Museum of Climate Crisis.2.3 La La Lab - The Mathematics of Music.The human team is an international and de-centralized group of mathematicians and communicators that work online for the project. ![]() IMAGINARY is funded by the research center Matematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach and the foundation Klaus Tschira Stiftung. ) to be downloaded freely, and potentially to be used in future IMAGINARY exhibitions.īesides the exhibitions, IMAGINARY also has other communication projects, both to the public as well as to the community. The materials submitted to IMAGINARY must be licensed under an open license (CC, GPL. The IMAGINARY platform accepts exhibits and materials (software, images, films, texts and hands-on) from mathematicians, artists, developers, users, etc. As of 2021, IMAGINARY has set over 480 exhibitions in more than 60 countries, using 23 languages, and attracting more than 3 million visitors. IMAGINARY offers support and customization for a fee. All the content of the exhibition is free (as in freedom), so the local partner can download the content at no cost and reproduce it at its expenses. It hosts a platform for open math exhibitions, and its main activity is the installation of its exhibitions in cities around the world, always with the partnership of a local organizer. IMAGINARY is a German-based non-profit association devoted to math popularization, originated at the Matematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach.
