We’ve published many things by artist X10 in The Balde over the past few years. In photography, he uses a pin-hole camera and takes camera-less photos. In grafiti, we love his conceptual work. For example, the beautiful Ral y ez da ral x, which we published in issue 64.
We’ve been holding onto what we want to show you in this number for a long time now. A long time ago X10 added pi to the Leintz Gatzaga pilota court wall, at a distance of 3.1416 metres from the wall.
When the Leintz Gatzaga town council repainted the pilota court, it showed unusual intelligence and sensitivity for a public authority. When renewing the pilota court, they respected street artist X10’s work and included it as part of the pilota court’s personality. So Leintz Gatzaga pilota court is the only one in the world with pi. And that singularity gives us the chance to invent the game of Pi, speaking of maths, to become aware of art’s ability to change reality...
