Irregular shape-regular function

Confusing traffic-light



This traffic light should regulate the traffic but creates more confusion because there are too many lights and people are not able to figure out what to do. It's irreuglar!

Hamlet

« To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And, by opposing, end them. To die, to sleep…
No more, and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to: ’tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep.
To sleep, perchance to dream. Ay, there’s the rub,
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil
Must give us pause. There’s the respect
That makes calamity of so long life,
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th’oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely,
The pangs of despis’d love, the law’s delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th’unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovered country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pitch and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action. »

(Hamlet, act three, scene one)


It is one of the most famous phrases of the literature of all time, and was the subject of several studies and different interpretations. The existential questions of life (being) or die (not be) is at the root of Hamlet's indecision to act to prevent.

Blog presentation

Hello everyone,
this blog was created to understand how to change the meaning of the terms regular and irregular in relation to different cultures. We have sought in various fields of study, from art to food, exploring the philosophy and everyday objects.
Through pictures, videos and texts we have tried to show how the boundary between these two concepts. We want to explain how to first approach the two concepts seem totally opposite but in reality are very close, depending on your point of view of people and the culture they grew up.
Some of the posts are that they want to provoke thought and invite people to accept diversity.

Thanks to all

Regular ticket in irregular shape



It’s a New England thing. French artist Hubert de Lartigue, on the other hand, uses his subway time to imagine X-Wings.

X-Wings from paper metro tickets, to be precise. de Lartique assembles them using nothing but a scalpel and a folding tool – no glue – and they’re pretty sharp.
