About

A decommissioned Timeline Selection Utility Xylopyli [Greek: Xylo (wood) Plyi (gate)] inadvertently installed in an unsuitable outdoor environment allowing it to be reenergized. The Xylopyli is a Möbius strip based on an ancient Roman mosaic inlaid roughly a millennium before German mathematician August Möbius made his "discovery" of his eponymous topological shape. The mosaic depicts the Hellenic god of time, Aion, passing between two timelines: one whose Axis Mundi is represented by a date palm, the other by an olive tree. "(This) Timeline S.U.X." is inspired by the meme, "This timeline sucks." It is meant to remind viewers that individuals have agency over their futures. If this timeline sucks then plot a better path into the future.
