“playing with phi” on the edge of europe

on Sunday the 9th of December 2003 a piece of land art was done on the beach of Lahinch in county Clare, Ireland. It was done by 4 people for a few different reasons.


most of us are familiar with PI (3.14………)
but few of us are familiar with PHI Φ(1.618………..)

its the number which makes up the “golden section” in art and architecture.
its supposedly the most perfect proportion
it has been used for thousands of years by artists and architects.
it also appears throughout much of science

what do you think?

it took 2 and a half years for this event to happen
doing the wall in the “samogar art gallery” was great too

full story, more pix and commentry on indymedia ireland

when your on that beach, its the edge of europe. next stop is new york @ 3000 miles
