That is DIABOLICAL museum design, A++, no notes

(my friend Joanne named it, and when she took a group of Kiowa elders out there after they identified it as being important to their history, she tried to ask them for their name to rename it and they said "oh yeah, no, you pretty much got it in one, that's a good English translation for what we call it.")

it shimmers like no gemstones i've ever seen: green as malachite and emerald but shot through with opal, gold, copper. photographs can't do it justice because of how it shines, as well as the way the actual material elements have their own dimensions. you can lean in and study all the fine lines of the circuits or step back and admire how the rearranged whole forms new patterns. it's one of the most beautiful creations i've ever seen.
