In summary, Hans Munthe-Kaas has designed a new labyrinth made of tall plants for next year's celebration of the Abel Prize winner. The maze has a hexagonal design and its layout can be modified due to some plants being in pots. There is also the possibility of making the maze a traveling exhibit with the use of pallet mover robots.

Hans Munthe-Kaas of the University of Bergen has designed a new labyrinth made of tall plants which will be the part of next year’s celebration for the winner of the Abel Prize.

Picture and short story here.

I like the look of its hexagonal design.
Interestingly, because some of the plants are in pots, its layout can be modified.
Further confusing the confused.

Awesome! Now if only they could make this a traveling exhibit...

Imagine if the pots were on those Amazon pallet mover robots and then you could orchestrate a dynamic maze from which no one could escape.
