Telstar Balls Gone Wild
Abstract
We describe an artistic project involving the fabrication of each of the 1812 distinct footballs that can be obtained by rearranging the way the 32 panels of a classic Telstar ball are stitched together. Each ball is one of a kind and individually numbered, and the entire series is sorted by decreasing roundness.
