Demon, Day 17.
These are pictures and text of the public installation work for this week. It is titled
“Paper Triangle is The Strongest Shape”.
It was installed in bartlett dining halls. Total triangles were 300. A set of 6 was placed on each table. A row across on the text is one triangle.
Point
This project involves a power point presentation that is presented simultaneously with the reading of the Merriam Webster definition of “point”.
