Dodecahedron:an unexpected form of appreciation

Dodecahedron: a solid shape that has twelve faces, each defined by five edges — or borders. While the term might sound strange to many, as it did to us, once you see it laid out on a piece of paper, it starts to make sense. All you need is a printer, a pair of scissors, some glue, and the patience of folding, to bring it to life: a three-dimensional object, perhaps still sticky with glue, but one that instantly invites tinkering and playing. We invite you to take this dodecahedron in your hands, rotate it and engage with this introduction from unexpected angles. In this way, we invite you to ponder the affordances of multimodality in this collection. You may also consider this as a prompting impulse to open your senses for unanticipated ways to (re)think matters of migration, borders, surveillance and technology.

Abstract

Dodecahedron: a solid shape that has twelve faces, each defined by five edges — or borders. While the term might sound strange to many, as it did to us, once you see it laid out on a piece of paper, it starts to make sense. All you need is a printer, a pair of scissors, some glue, and the patience of folding, to bring it to life: a three-dimensional object, perhaps still sticky with glue, but one that instantly invites tinkering and playing. We invite you to take this dodecahedron in your hands, rotate it and engage with this introduction from unexpected angles. In this way, we invite you to ponder the affordances of multimodality in this collection. You may also consider this as a prompting impulse to open your senses for unanticipated ways to (re)think matters of migration, borders, surveillance and technology.
