Ross Ryding discusses the finer points of implementing the Asterisk based Complete PBX solution offered by Xorcom USA.
These are the 4th quarter asterisk blocks I made for beehive 17. None of these blocks are perfect as I used a sew and slice piecing technique, but they are all squared at 12.5 inches

Everyday, we use Google to answer questions and believe that Google has the answer to everything. If you enter * into Google, however, nothing is retrieved from the Google system. It is the one and only
commonly recognized symbol or word that retrieves nothing from the vast Google database.
In our contemporary world the asterisk symbol therefore represents the mysterious unknowable and this
installation celebrates the unknowable in an age were access to knowledge is seemingly always at the
touch of a button.
Sophia Al-Maria: Taraxos
“ * - Every asterisk a star. Every star a clock. Every clock a chime. Every chime a warning. Waking a cell, then a seed, then the germ of a weed getting ready to flower. – Sophia Al-Maria
Sophia Al-Maria considers the dandelion an emblem of freedom and resistance, as each seed has the potential to become an agent of resilience and change. Inspired by the life cycle and geometry of the dandelion (taraxacum officinale), the sculpture taraxos is a model for understanding and listening to the world.
Taraxos is a meditative place for anyone to slow down time for themselves. Visitors can sit beneath and stand amongst a constellation of 12 metal achenes, which take the form of futuristic dandelion ‘seeds’, and listen to the sculpture. Activated by the wind, the sculpture can also be played by touching the stems which are covered in copper, a material selected for its antimicrobial qualities.
At the top of each achene the asterisk* appears as shorthand symbolising a dandelion seed’s bracts, below it is inscribed into the ground in reference to the navigational tool of a meteorological wind rose. The punctuation mark of the asterisk* is a motif in Al-Maria’s work which emerged from her screenwriting practice in which the asterisk indicates rewriting and revision. The central node of taraxos is a piece of reclaimed titanium from an airplane. This durable yet light material, ideal for air and space travel mirrors that of the seemingly fragile airborne dandelion seed.
The Serpentine x Modern Forms Sculpture Commission focuses on Serpentine’s immediate environment as a space for artists to engage with the landscape of the park.
Sophia Al-Maria was selected for this new public sculpture commission by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Artistic Director, Melissa Blanchflower, Curator, Exhibitions and Public Art, Serpentine and Nick Hackworth, Director, Modern Forms.”

I don't know, I think this is called Asterisk Spring. This one looks really dingy, dingier than the original, though I copied the original faithfully.
you apparently can't stamp anything on the inside of my wrist without me thinking, "hmmm, maybe this should be a tattoo."
now i'm trying to work an asterisk somewhere on to my body.
also, i promise i was way happier about being at the holocene than this photo would lead you to believe.
