Euclid Painted Glasses

Imagine that, by magic, you can transform a painting from the canvas into the real world. Brushstrokes materialized in the third dimension, creating texture and an unusual surface on embodied objects.

Euclid, the ancient Greek mathematician, is best known for his work in geometry, particularly his treatise “Elements.” However, he also made significant contributions to the field of optics. Euclid is believed to have invented the concept of pinhole lenses. These early devices, which utilize a small aperture to improve vision by reducing the blur circle, were intended to aid those with poor vision, potentially making him one of the earliest figures associated with the development of vision correction tools​.
