Rocket Science by Edward Tufte

I’m pleased to learn that Edward Tufte, who taught the world exactly how to design data graphics, is also a sculptor. A recent sculpture of his hits a few of my soft spots: it’s huge, steel, and conceptually related to rocketry.

It’s titled Rocket Science.

Be sure to scroll down to see the time lapse movie of the instillation and some of the fabrication photos.

Here is a photo of the piece take from Tuftes site:
