For my diploma project, carried out in conclusion of my final CFC year, I focused on the chronological evolution of human numbering. The title, the reminder a famous legend, symbolizes the functioning of this evolutive object that, through the 10 main steps of this fascinating evolution, allows us to understand why our numeral system is so perfect. The object represents the latter through a graphic evolution, where each element (grid, images fonts, etc.) becomes more and more refined and complicated. This approach, which has mostly been programmed, refers, again, to the numbers.
