Worst Misses, Vol. 3

I was recently asked by some very sharp young curators to design a 10 year calendar. A daunting, but exciting task, but something very interesting revealed itself in the process. I put the whole ten years, day by day, into an ongoing string in an A0 format. It's set in a monospace typeface to keep the spacing evenly gridded, and each month and year are are denoted by a shift in color density.

Once I finished, I noticed that the whole string created a repeating pattern. I was both shocked and fascinated by this pattern revealing itself, simply by the demarcation of time. Several days later, I found a similar pattern in a diagram of moon cycles, seen above (Michæl Paukner) and was further convinced that I was on to something.

While the curators rejected the calendar, and to my knowledge I am no longer working on the project, I am so satisfied with my discovery, than it is impossible to see it as any kind of failure on my part.
