Product ABSTRACT:
"THE TYPHON PARTICLE"
- The Geo Cube, Series-1 (GCS-1) entitled "The Typhon Particle," was created by 3D artist and graphic designer, Ornaldo Montalvo. It is based on the Pythagoreans, who associated a 56-sided polygon with Typhon, the weather God, and most feared monster in classical Greek mythology. The GCS-1 is a 3D STEAHM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, History, and Math) tool designed to help bridge the gap between abstract and theoretical concepts/ideas with the concrete and physical world. This gives access to marginalized students, with different learning styles, of all ages, to connect the intangible, with the 3D world. The product comes with a (.PDF) lesson plan for educators to share with the classroom. It originally appeared in the Journal of Hyperseeing: The Publication of the International Society of the Arts, Mathematics and Architecture, Spring 2012 edition.
- The GCS-1 is known in the Geometric world as a Geodesic Snub Cube. It was derived from a 3D wireframe model of the Snub Cube, hence, GeoCube. Geo, for Geodesic and Cube, for Snub Cube. The Snub Cube is one of Archimedes' 13 geometric solids, composed of 38 faces. The GCS-1 is a 56 sided polyhedron made up of frustums. It is a sacred, geometric design with a dual, triangular tessellation, symbolizing the polarity and balance of the Universe. "It is believed that the ancients considered that the experience of Sacred Geometry was essential to the education of the soul. They knew that these patterns and codes were symbolic of our own inner realm and were significant to higher consciousness and self-awareness. Sacred geometry amplifies our connection to spirit, and creates harmony within ourselves, and between ourselves and the outside world. It is often called “sacred architecture” because it underlies everything and is woven into the fabric of all creation." (Vivian Tang, Sacred Geometry Explained, 2021,<https://destinationdeluxe.com/sacred-geometry-explained-healing-benefits/)
- The GCS-1 was inspired by graphic artist, M.C. Escher, surrealist painter, Salvador Dali, and commercial artist Andy Warhol, as well as DaDa, the anti-art movement that questioned the stereotype and status quo of what art is, or what is art? Montalvo believes that the "Universe/Multiverse is art and all art is composed of both matter and energy. GCS-2 is in the works and coming soon! Stay tuned...
