The mirror maze was included in an exhibit about patterns in nature. The other parts of the show discussed things like the Golden Ratio (mmmyyyyy favorite ratio) and fractals. It introduced me to the Voronoi (sp?) pattern which is what makes the shapes for kernels of corn and for cloves of garlic. Freaky, man!
