people.artcenter.edu — Using a complex array of perforations, the pavilion’s surface allows light to pass through creating shifting patterns, which–during specific times of the year–transform into the legible text of a poem. The specific arrangements of the perforations reveal different shadow-poems according to the solar calendar.

I'm trying to think how much planning went into placing the holes where they are and at what angle but then my head exploded.

OMG AN EVIL PERSON FALLS INTO A CERTAIN CATEGORY!!11 BURN THE CATEGORY!That's about as relevant as saying Hitler was an art student, or that Stalin preferred cotton sheets to linen.

Custodial Director = Janitor People love playing up stuff to make it sound better/more complex/cooler; but truth be told, this doesn't need words for one to behold its beauty.

Two thousand years from now..."I've got it! I finally figured out this ancient artifact. Line it up with the sun just right, and secret messages a printed in the shadow. It must have been a tool to communicate in wartime, or to receive messages from their god, or for human sacrifice, or...."

Seriously, if you think that is complicated then you should study the last 20,000 years of astronomy. This is actually very very basic. As basic as setting it up on any random day of the year, and then once every 365 days the words reappear. As for two poems, there are two sides cut out. You could make many more poems from this structure if it hadn't become so boring that the artist stopped.
