Dark monoliths, composed of blocks, define this vast and chilly futuristic space, where ambient light bounces off invisible surfaces. The heavy edifices, virtual pillars of stone, themselves seem to soak up all energy. Meanwhile, long chains of small beings drop quietly from a ledge, like lost souls wandering between walls in a world that does not even realize they are there. Here, simple components—simplexes, cubes, blocks—come together to form more complicated topological spaces.
