@joachim I can't make it bistable. How is it facing the lake? 😵‍💫

@olivia Picture yourself walking up to it, picking it up, and rotating it to face the lake, so it looks out to the top right of the photo. Alternatively, look closely at the bottom support of the chair, it looks like it's pointing to the bottom left

@olivia Third alternative, the inverted T portion of the chair frame, right in the middle, is closest to you. It's a Necker cube

@olivia I know, right? I want to say things like this break my brain, but brains being broken is why they happen to begin with!

@olivia @joachim There is a standard phenomenology exercise that goes like this. Can you see it also as the base of weird pyramid with the top point cut off? See Don Ihde's great little book _Experimental Phenomenology_.
