This short HD video shows the process of museum installation of Escaping Flatland, constructed from 14,200 kg or 31,200 lbs of stainless steel arranged in 6 elements each with 4 plates of stainless. Compared to other installations, this was eerily quiet since Clovis, our crane expert, used his battery-operated crane (with a really big battery!) to move the plates around. Gone were the usual diesel smoke and engine roar.

This piece is described in great detail at my website www.tufte.com

  • I don't think most people realize or have even read of the political and social implications of escaping Flatland's conventions with the help of some "Other" dimensional being. I'm adding this clip to my playlist. Great work giving voice to the voiceless!
