In this installation, shown originally at Mass Art for the dParty (the launch event for Common Boston week) thousands of 3-inch diameter dots are hand sewn together to form a five foot by ten foot topographical floor covering designed using Python scripting in the computer modeling program Rhinoceros.

This installation was made possible through a generous donation of 10mm thick felt circles fromFilzFelt, a Boston-based company, founded by designers Kelly Smith and Traci Roloff, that imports and distributes 100% wool German design felt.

The concept was inspired by both the main installation at the dParty, a topographical book display by Mary Hale, and the phrase "Live and Learn", the theme of Common Boston week 2011. The topography of "3471 Dots" represents a square section of a page of the MCAS 2010 written exam - removed from its context, the text is meaningless.
