AI
AI & Speaking
Workshops, talks, advising, and curriculum work on modern AI systems and higher education.
Mathematics · AI · Art · Writing
Mathematical thinking applied to AI literacy, visual form, public writing, and interactive tools.
I’m David Bachman, a professor, writer, speaker, and mathematical artist. My work moves between higher education, public explanation, digital fabrication, and software projects that make abstract ideas tangible.
Areas of Work
The site is organized around the main ways I work in public and institutional contexts.
Writing
Public Writing
Essays and analysis on AI, education, work, and the larger social meaning of technical change.
Art
Mathematical Art
Sculpture, lighting, and 2D work shaped by geometry, topology, algorithms, and fabrication tools.
Apps
Interactive Tools
Geometry, topology, and game-like explorations built with several AI coding assistants.
The Through-Line
Across teaching, AI, art, and software, I am interested in making difficult structures visible. Sometimes that means a workshop, sometimes an essay, sometimes an object, and sometimes an interactive system.
- Explain complex systems without reducing them to hype or slogans.
- Use visual and tactile form to give abstract ideas a concrete shape.
- Build tools and experiences that support intuition, not just information.
- Move between scholarship, public communication, and making.
Selected Writing
Recent pieces from my Substack on AI, higher education, and social change.
