Squaring the Circle

One of the oldest geometric problem is squaring the circle, that is the making of a square using a ruler and a pair of compasses, the square having the same area with the one of a given circle.

The construction does not give a solution to the mathematical problem itself, but art can give interpretations and different dimensions to the way the problem are approached, whatever their character is.

This creation can turn around itself and the shadow with the shape of the circle becomes a square.

The materials used for the construction of the work are CDs and disks which contained all the information it collected at times by those who have tried to solve the problem of squaring the circle.
