The Ultimate Challenge
Though presented as a graphical artwork,
the underlying grid of the Blue Star Universe
is spherical and thus pre-sculptural.
A regular grid covering the surface of a
sphere allows the positioning of the full set
of sixty six-pointed stars, all touching with
five points their neighbours, leaving only
one point off.
Plain grids do not require necessarily
“boundary conditions” to be met when
creating hyper-symmetries. Playing
simultaneously with sophisticated features
of symmetry both locally on the surface of a
sphere and even through its centre implies
a new three dimensional reasoning.
