    Polyplane - Exploring the Natural Laws of Shape

    Alex Kontorovich and Glen Whitney are producing a compact traveling art/science
    exhibition celebrating the beauty and structure of three-dimensional shapes.
    Visitors will wander along a constellation of diverse geometric forms, each
    precisely placed according to its numbers of sides, edges, and corners. From
    this placement, a natural law that has informed centuries of human inquiry
    becomes manifest: the Euler Polyhedron Formula.
