Bathsheba Grossman Sculpture 3D Printed 6 Feet Tall

We all know Bathsheba Grossman’s 3D Printed sculptures are massive in the world of math art but now they are just, massive… Thanks to the D-Shape 3D Printer and a valiant attempt on Indiegogo , Bathsheba’s Rygo sculpture has been 3D Printed 6 foot tall and has now made it’s way to Vancouver (only Canadian Shapeways users can imagine the UPS duties on THIS delivery).

Klein Bottle Opener….
The problem of beer  That it is within a ‘bottle’, i.e. a boundaryless compact 2-manifold homeomorphic to the sphere.  Since beer bottles are not (usually) pathological or “wild” spheres, but smooth manifolds, they separate 3-space into two non-communicating regions: inside, containing beer, and outside, containing you.  This state must not remain.
A proposed solution  Clearly the elegant course is to introduce a non-orientable manifold, which has one side and does not divide 3-space.  When juxtaposed with the beer-bounding manifold described above, it acts to disrupt the continuity thereof, canceling the outdated paradigm of  distinction between interior and exterior.  This enables the desired interaction between beer and self.
Implementation The Klein Bottle Opener1 shown above is an example.  It is palm-sized, durably constructed in stainless steel, effective2, and blissfully ergonomic.
