Week 9: Numbers

I really enjoyed James Bennings lecture on Monday. It got me to look at numbers and systems in a different way that I never thought about. This made me realize that there are many different ways to look at everything we do even if we think we know everything about something. When Benning showed that the number one was really .99999999999999999999999 on to infinity it made me think about the systems that use complex number and mathematical systems to function. And we rely heavily on these things to do their jobs such as computers. But really numbers are all abstract and flawed in some way. In the same way you can look at art which everyone knows can be abstract but this idea gives art limitless boundaries because art is not a set system with right or wrong functions.
