Video Productions:Not Knot

Not Knot is a guided tour into computer-animated hyperbolic space. It proceeds from the world of knots to their complementary spaces -- what's not a knot. Profound theorems of recent mathematics show that most knot complements carry the structure of hyperbolic geometry, a geometry in which the sum of the three angles of a triangle is always less than 180 degrees.
