Tip of the Day:
From Ceramics Monthly: "Exposed X-ray film is most effective for making stencils to be used for decorating or masking. It is flexible enough to go around curved surfaces; wetting will not damage it; it can be used over and over again; and its transparency often helps if a design calls for layering once stencil on top of another. The film is best used if it is first cleaned of the dark emulsion. This comes off easily if the film is soaked in hot water for about an hour."

I first read about this shape in "The Fourth Dimension," by Rudy Rucker back in '86. I started doing meditation exercises with it and got some pretty crazy dream correlations -- dream/real-time as a result. Mostly I was just fascinated by the shapes and depths of shapes I was seeing.

Do a search on the hypercube and you'll come up with a lot of good information as well as actual cad models you can "virtually" fly through.

It's extending the model of the cube, perception of X-Y-Z, to a whole nother perception (or direction) -- called Ana -- a perception of the fourth dimension.

It's pretty apparent, upon looking at the shape, how it's trying to "hyper" itself right off the screen. Unlike the two flips (back and forth) of a traditional cube drawing, ~each shape~ you come across in the hypercube also flips, but in several directions.

Have fun! Don't hurt yourself!
