PI Project

Connecting the world through art – One number at a time.

We are creating what will one day be recognized as the largest art installation in the world using data visualization and sculpture, centered around the infinite number sequence of Pi.

This is a project involving #art #technology #sculpture #interactive #newMedia #dataVisualization #mathematics and #socialMedia

Pi Project is a multifaceted, multi-decade long project combining sculpture, mathematical concept, data visualization, geolocation and web based media.  Artists Chris Klapper and Patrick Gallagher are continuing this process by hand making sculptures of each individual number along the infinite number sequence.

Connecting the world through art,  PI Project connects a network of its global collectors through geolocation and data visualization.  As the artwork ships around the world, each sculpture is identified on a web based interactive world map pinpointing three elements: the geolocations, the individual numbers and their specific position along the sequence of the most famous of transcendental numbers.

We began this process in 2017 on Pi Day 3/14/17.   There are over 600 PI Project sculptures spanning the world across 5 continents.   From Vietnam, Japan, France, Brazil, Italy and Australia to all over the US.  In total, the project is in 26 countries and 30 US states

This installation is available to everyone.

Tracking the project through online sales and promoting it on social media, this will be an infinite series — continuously updated and always adaptive.  Each year will bring new number editions and new ways of visualizing the data.

PI Project is part of a much larger series called Real Numbers, a new minimalist approach to exploring the poetry of numbers.

Sculptures

Each sculpture is 3.14″ x 3.14″  – every year the style of the sculptures change.

2024 PI Project sculpture editions are currently in production.  They are made of hand cast resin and gilded with 24k gold leaf.  As always, they will come with a Certificate of Authenticity showing the placement of the number within the PI sequence.

To become a collector in the PI Project community you can purchase pieces with the PayPal button or you can contact us with the form below.

    Chris Klapper ~ Patrick Gallagher

    We are a married duo, based in Brooklyn, NY.  In 2010, we embarked on our first direct collaboration with our hugely successful installation, Symphony in D Minor, a self container thunderstorm, which is part of the permanent collection of Hydropolis Museum in Poland.

    Our work is multimedia, multidisciplinary and large scale, with a focus on science and mathematical concepts.  In 2020 we were the artist in residence at Fermilab, America’s particle physics and accelerator laboratory.

    Our subject matter is driven by specific projects, environments and experiences. Overall, we look to explore new technologies and to use them to express immense ideas on a human scale. Employing sculpture, video, sound, projection mapping, composites and digital new media, we look to explore every expressive opportunity that presents itself.
