About this model
This light sculpture illuminates pi, a number that has brought enlightenment to students and scholars of math and science throughout the ages. A mathematical technique warps the cutouts on the curved sides of the cylinder such that an unwarped shadow is cast on the floor. The digits of pi swirl along the arm of an Archimedes spiral; the length of the sequence before it fades a measure of your printer's ability to capture fine details.
