Pi in the sky in Austin, Texas! To celebrate Pi Day and honor the great mathematical constant of 3.141592 etc., AirSign aircrafts took to the skies to attempt to spell out the infinite pi sequence across 100 miles of sky in Austin. The skywriting was part of a public art project put on by AirSign and California artist ISHKY to applaud the universal language of pi and the limitless potential it represents, an AirSign spokesperson told CNET. The hundreds of numbers written across the afternoon sky were done by five synchronized AirSign aircrafts flying at 10,000 feet using dot-matrix technology. The numbers -- each measuring a quarter-mile in height -- were written out in a spiral that eventually became several miles wide. Pi In The Sky explores the boundaries of scale, public space, impermanence, and the relationship between Earth and the physical universe,AirSign said in a statement.
