Digits Span the World

DigitBlock4Ever wanted to own a digit of Pi?  This is your big chance.  No kidding.

Kind of like owning a star, right?  Artists Chris Klapper and Patrick Gallagher are embarking on an infinitely ambitious project.  They are hand-casting sculptures of each digit in Pi’s sequence, and shipping them all over the world, one by one.  But there’s more.  In the words of the artists:

“As the work ships around the world, we will track the expansion of the project’s database with a web-based visualized map, pinpointing three elements of each sculpture: the geo-locations, the individual numbers and their specific position along the sequence of this transfinite number. This data will be available in real-time and visualized on an interactive world map, connecting each sculpture and its collector into a unique global community.”

Anyone worth their Pi Day street-cred will need to have a digit on their shelf. And this project, as you can imagine, can and will span decades. Centuries. In fact, with 22 trillion known digits and 7 billion people on the planet, well, Chris and Patrick can keep busy making and sending out digits for quite some time.

Visit the project’s website to learn more, and to join this infinitely exclusive club!
