TIL. In April 1974, in the middle of the night, a small group of conspirators secretly installed a large tensegrity icosahedron made from discarded telephone poles on the campus of Twente University in the Netherlands.@robinhouston @simontatham Yes, it is through editing the Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessen%27s_icosahedron in 2021 that I learned about this sculpture

The Wikipedia article (read in translation) says that it was mistakenly renovated in mirrored form. But the 6-bar tensegrity is not chiral? Do they maybe mean that it was placed on a different three pole ends than before?
