Je suis sur Masto depuis un petit moment, et j'ai complètement oublié de me présenter. Donc moi c'est Alexis. Je fais du graphisme génératif et géometrique et du pattern design. J'ai déjà rencontré des créatifs fort sympa et inspirant ici !

I've been on Masto for a while now, and I completely forgot to introduce myself.
So, I'm Alexis. I do #generative and #geometric art, and #pattern design. I've already met some really cool and inspiring creatives here!

#Dennis #Gaitsgory has dedicated the past 30 years to proving the #geometric #Langlands #conjecture.
Over the decades, he and his collaborators have built an extensive body of work, forming the foundation of the new proof.
Although the geometric Langlands program is highly abstract, it forges deep connections between different mathematical structures
and has the potential to drive breakthroughs in theoretical physics, number theory, and even quantum computing.
The #Breakthrough #Prize was established in 2012 by Sergey Brin (Google), Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), and others to recognize outstanding researchers for their groundbreaking discoveries.
It is awarded in the fields of life sciences, physics, and mathematics.
In 2016, the Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences was awarded to #Svante #Pääbo from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig,
and in 2022, to #Anthony #Hyman from the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden.

As we can see in this video 👆, these patterns are mostly handled by women. I've observed it myself when living in a Huni Kuin community in 2023.

However, the community where I was didn't bake their own ceramic. So it's fascinating to see how they do it in this documentary.

Anyway, this is great news that the cultural heritage of the Huni Kuin peoples is finally recognised officially 🥇
