This radiant sculpture sheds light on pi, a number that has been a beacon of understanding for math and science students throughout history. A sophisticated mathematical process manipulates the cutouts on the curved sides of the cylinder, ensuring an unobscured shadow falls on the floor. The digits of pi swirl along the arm of an Archimedes spiral; the length of the sequence before it fades serves as a precise measure of your printer's capacity to capture intricate details.
