Bailey-Borwein-Plouffe

Here's a special edition for π-day today ...

I created a virtual mural last year using the Bailey-Borwein-Plouffe formula for π on a wall of Whitechapel Gallery, London.  The interior space was part of Elmgreen & Dragset's installation The Whitechapel Pool on the occasion of their survey exhibition This Is How We Bite Our Tongues in 2018:

The Bailey-Borwein-Plouffe formula for π is useful in quickly computing the nth hexadecimal digit of π without computing its preceding digits.

Happy π-day!

Social Mobility (Staircase)

I spent my second day in København visiting a couple of heavy-weight museums outside the city.  Both ARKEN Museum for Moderne Kunst and Louisiana Museum of Modern Art have a lot of Danish content.  Here's an installation by the Danish/Norwegian duo Elmgreen & Dragset at ARKEN just outside København in Ishøj:

Powerless Structures, Fig. 101

The fourth plinth in central London's Trafalgar Square has been used for a series of temporary works commissioned from international artists since 1999.  While the other three plinths in the square are each carrying a permanent sculpture, the fourth plinth was left empty for over 150 years.  It was originally intended to support an equestrian statue of King William IV.  With this reference in mind, Elmgreen & Dragset erected the statue Powerless Structures, Fig. 101 as the latest commissioned project on this legendary plinth.
