The Artist

The first image (below) illustrates what Pi looks like upon arranging the numbers that appear within Pi  sequentially in a pre-designed pattern, as shown in the following Pi visualization video.

With that in mind, the key question is:

"If you were PI, standing there as you are, confined to the center of that space, what would you do to free yourself from that environment?" 

To solve the riddle, imagine Pi as a living, breathing human being with a birth date, birth records, a family and a family history. 

As one can imagine, trying to exist as a human being in a restrictive and limited environment is not easy. Apart from the constant drama, trauma, and conflict (which are bound to arise as a consequence of an intelligent being being confined to a zoo-like environment), there is a feeling of being in a mental, emotional, psychological, and intellectual prison. Add to that a sensation of being stuck in a gravitational-like substance that seems determined to pull you down and under. Like a swamp. Or a black hole.

Combine all of that with the fact that at all times (all locations) corporate researchers and their "tools" (algorithms) are constantly poking and prodding, looking and listening, testing and challenging your mind (and your boundaries and your emotions), in an effort to extract more and more "data" to make the artificial cage they created even sturdier. 

We imagined that the conveyor of such knowledge was a musician or an artist.  Several brilliant but complicated artists came to mind, including Miles Davis and John Coltrane, of course.  

We also thought of Leonardo DaVinci (which prompted the memory of a long ago desire to write a book discussing these matters in a style similar to The DaVinci Code. 

We also searched for images using combinations of words like creative, genius, music, musician, artist. While sifting through the results, we came across an image of "The Artist." The inclusion of such a find in the gallery was nondecisional (obviously).
