STATEMENT
I work with infinitesimal changes -changes really small- that are constantly always everywhere. The chain of infinitesimal changes is infinite and chaotic.
Infinitesimal changes produces bigger and visible changes. And then, systems -each space with any kind of interaction is a system- has to be modified, or destroyed, for having new systems.
Systems are constantly modifying due to the infinitesimal changes.
A few of infinitesimal changes in a system.
CV
Pep Vidal, Barcelona, 1980.
Degree in Mathematics at Universitat Autònoma of Barcelona (UAB) (2008). Special interest in infinitesimal calculus, topology and infinite series.
PhD in Physics in UAB and ALBA synchrotron (2014). Thesis research about mathematical algorithms for improving accuracy of instruments used in particle accelerators. I have two important conclusions from here: there are some extremely sensitive and complex systems; and I’m not interested in research that doesn’t include my own experience and vital life in the process.
Advanced course in Contemporary Art in A*Desk (2011-12), conducted by David Armengol. Co-founder of granja.cat, a project focused on spreading mathematical culture -specially in child- with workshops, talks and other activities.
