Wow! Now that is truly cool. I'd love to see it in person, and get a look at how the light reflects off all those weird surfaces. That sculpture is a great idea. It shows something of the wonder of mathematics, and with it's strangeness it goads us into trying to imagine a perspective truly different from the one we know, which is always a good thing.
