Exhibition

“The Timeless Way of Things” was exhibited in the Linz Café during the Forum Design exhibition. It was prepared by C.E.S. and illustrated the basic principles of geometry, in particular the “mirror of self” criterion and 14 geometric principles present in spiritually powerful works of art. The exhibit consisted of photographs and text mounted on boards organized in eleven sections: 1) Mirror of the Self, 2) Different Cultures – Different Eras, 3) Past and Present, 4) Our Era, 5) Geometric Properties, 6) Feeling, 7) Processes from the Past, 8) Industrial Process, 9) Satisfaction – Happiness, 10) New Process – Mexicali, and 11) Conclusion
The purpose of the exhibit was to present to a wider public the “timeless quality” embedded in buildings and works of art and to demostrate the geometric properties in positive and negative examples.
