Yang\u2019s work began with the premise that the engineering technology on which Hyundai Motor Group is built originates in pure mathematics. While searching for a way to visualize this idea, she recalls a model of \u201cKuen Surface\u201d housed at the Institut Henri Poincar\u00e9 in Paris.<br \/>\nKnown for its unique aesthetic structure, the Kuen Surface is a form<br \/>\nstudied by the mathematician Theodor Kuen, characterized by constant<br \/>\nnegative curvature. The model was then dismantled, mirrored, and<br \/>\nrecomposed into three distinct forms to produce plant-like structures. By<br \/>\nrendering mathematical formulas into organic, aesthetic forms, the<br \/>\nartwork evokes the relationship between fundamental research and future<br \/>\ninnovation on which the company is founded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A newly commissioned artwork for Hyundai Motor Group headquarters in Yangjae, Seoul International artist Haegue Yang, commissioned by&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":601638,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[6225,6485,6486,1120,96,136601,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-601637","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-hyundai-motors","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/601637","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=601637"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/601637\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/601638"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=601637"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=601637"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=601637"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
