Unfolding Object

Intriguing Object: "Let's see what unfolds"
unfoldingobject.guggenheim.org

www.numeral.com/projects/com...
Unfolding Object is a simple square that may be unfolded along any side. The marks on each face tally the number of times that face has been unfolded. Each persons decisions determine the shape the object takes. Each square of the object has identical code for unfolding and transfers it to the new pages it opens. The potential for every shape the object can take is contained in the code for the the first single square.

Du, Dunkel aus Licht, says the poet.
"I can understand why you don't like the city—but without going by rue du Puits-Saint-Pierre, take yourself sometimes to the bench behind the cathedral for a minute. Don't sit down, for that corner is still too cold this time of year—but revel in the shadow on the house opposite, God's own sundial revealing calm and peaceful weather. Oh, today is a day for walking, is it not?" Letters to Merline, 1919-1922 by Rilke 61

"Sure, here is some alt text for the image:

The image shows eight different watershed drainage patterns. The patterns are labeled dendritic, parallel, trellis, rectangular, radial, annular, multi-basinal, and contorted. The image also includes a dry watershed…"
Dendritic: This is the most common type of drainage pattern. It resembles the branching pattern of a tree. Parallel: This pattern occurs in areas with uniform bedrock and gentle slopes. The streams flow in parallel lines. Trellis: This pattern occurs in areas with alternating bands of hard and soft rock. The streams flow in straight lines at right angles to each other. Rectangular: This pattern occurs in areas with a grid-like system of faults or fractures. The streams flow in straight lines that intersect at right angles. Radial: This pattern occurs around a central peak or volcano. The streams flow outward from the central point. Annular: This pattern occurs in a circular basin. The streams flow inward toward a central point. Multi-basinal: This pattern occurs in areas with multiple internal drainage basins. The streams flow into one or more interior basins before eventually reaching the outlet. Contorted: This pattern occurs in areas with complex geology […]
