Abstract
The traveling exhibit “Para Além da Terceira Dimensão”, now touring a number of Portuguese cities, was the result of an international cooperation between two mathematicians in the United States and a team of mathematicians and Computer Professionals in Portugal. Inspired by the virtual art gallery “Surfaces Beyond the Third Dimension”, itself based on a physical exhibit originally staged by the Providence Art Club in 1996, this updated version includes new images, new movies, new languages, and a new layout. We describe here the process, and some of the difficulties, of putting together such a project.
