Kandinsky asks "When does a 'Point' become a 'Plane'?" Much like a koan is he just attempting to expand our consciousness?

Maybe he was gobsmacked by the power of abstraction... by what was developing in front of his eyes as he invented it... maybe queering perception...?... Nice to wonder though!

When consciousness starts to expand, all sorts of amazing paths open up within the mind. Being bound to the old paradigm is no longer an option.

Similarly, when does a face have thickness?

Well, sort of@jasmr but thickness has dimension which is easier to quantify. If you place a point (from a pen or pencil) on a piece of paper then "zoom" in enough the point seems to have a surface area (a Plane). Also if you keep adding to the point, when is it no longer a point? Interesting image, did you draw it?

Yep. I have this crazy idea to make a dynamic sculpture about 30 feet high that rotates in the wind.

Yep. We visited a great historical park in Burlington Vermont some years ago and they had some which really inspired me. Thanks for the link to this youtube video.
