The Tetrahedron in Bottrop is a walkable steel structure in the form of a tetrahedron with a side length of 60m, resting on four 9m tall concrete pillars. It is located in Bottrop, Germany, on top of the mine dump Halde Beckstraße and serves as the town's landmark.

The design is reminiscent of the Sierpinski tetrix: placing four half-size tetrahedra corner to corner and adding an octahedron in the middle, a full-size tetrahedron is formed; this process can be repeated recursively to form larger and larger tetrahedra.

Seen at a low angle, the rim of the molecule looks like a series of sand dunes. See my previous post for a top-down view.

I uploaded a crude phototutorial for this design to origami.kosmulski.org/instructions/stacked-whirlwind-mole...

FROM WIKIPEDIA:

The Sierpinski triangle (also with the original orthography Sierpiński), also called the Sierpinski gasket or the Sierpinski Sieve, is a fractal and attractive fixed set with the overall shape of an equilateral triangle, subdivided recursively into smaller equilateral triangles.

Originally constructed as a curve, this is one of the basic examples of self-similar sets, i.e., it is a mathematically generated pattern that can be reproducible at any magnification or reduction.

It is named after the Polish mathematician Wacław Sierpiński but appeared as a decorative pattern many centuries prior to the work of Sierpiński.

I Am a Strange Loop

I am definitely one of those strange loops, and I wouldn't have it any other way. It does tend to mess with one's sense of "is"ness on a daily, even hourly basis, however. ｡◕‿◕｡

I found it interesting to watch artists copying masterpieces in New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. A little something from my archives to brighten up your day.

A stickler for detail ... I just scanned over 2000 images of European art on the Met's website to get the title and original artist. It is ...

"The Fortune Teller" by french artist Georges de La Tour (1593-1653) date probably 1630s

The painting catches a moment in which a young man of some wealth is having his fortune told by the old woman at right; she takes the coin from his hand, not only in payment, but as part of the ritual in which she will cross his hand with it. Most or all of the women portrayed are gypsies, and, furthering the stereotype of the time, they are depicted as thieves. As the young man is engrossed in the fortune-telling—an act which, if discovered, would have repercussions for both him and the gypsies—the leftmost woman is stealing the coin purse from his pocket, while her companion in profile has a hand ready to receive the loot. The pale-faced girl on the boy's left is less clearly a gypsy, but is also in on the act as she cuts a medal worn by the boy from its chain. The figures in the painting are close together, as if in a play, and the composition may have been influenced by a theatrical scene.

I liked how the camera liked to focus on the reflection on the mirror of the reflection on its own lens of the reflection on the mirror of light scattered by its own lens. Meanwhile, as I focused on how the camera was focusing on itself, I came out of focus.

(Now say that three times fast, while focusing on the reflection of three light scattering lenses. If you like.)

[As of right now, this is the most interesting photo tagged "what nonsense". It also is the only one so far.]

Another in my "You are what you eat" series.

Inspired by the ODC theme "Food Chain"

Picasso said, “Good artists copy; great artists steal”; or in other words, “Emulation, reference, and quotation are necessary for all artists to improve their craft and relate to their time, but the ones we admire most made what they’ve learned their own, in ways that guide and challenge other artists and the community.”

So here’s me, taking advantage of and advertising a Slovak who’s inserting himself into the global manifestation of Silicon-Valley-based social media, on social media.

Is that recursive, or what?
