Squaring circles and cubing the sphere
Both mentally and physically, games, battles and competitions are fought on and within squares, with each event influencing the other. Tiny squares, glowing in all frequencies, arrange themselves into images, capture our attention, generate opinions and create worldviews: the war for eyes. The square: a promise of harmony, a symbol of infinity, just like the circle with its π. At its center, encircled: humankind, golden-sectioned. The impossibility of squaring the circle. The “golden rule” has by no means become the standard. Prepared? – for the adventure of becoming human.
