Pillar 01 is the "Title Pillar".
It contains an alphabetic cipher text at the top (Unsolved at the moment), a labrinthine cipher (Solved), the sculpture's title "NKRYPT" and a series of numbers around the bottom which probably form part of a cipher (Unsolved).
Top Cipher
The top cipher is very high and difficult to read (unless you are very tall). It consists of a grid of 10 rows and 26 columns wrapping around the entire pillar.
The cipher text reads
OXPUWAOEKZVCRLUYFMLXTPNATW VGZTCGVGDAAXFDKOCRFRUOKAPW LCMPTFPBTYXRSZKKQUBJAMHYUL MZVSXXZHDLYHOKWWEJUXLXKRZU PPESLBOEKOGRTAYDFOHRHVMPBN DTEZBTYDXNMPXHVNKCIYEMJFVE MNKDIQBOSUFFFWBVDNKHRTLIMZ WRRQUFNNBGKUWNQCHDEFSTZZRQ UIUDPTKGATPSJIFXXGGSNTWJLA BRYVUCSBNPYAVSTTONZFWIUUNW |
The letters 'P', 'V', and 'L' are in a larger font size.
The current best decryption is:
Bottom cipher - Solved
The bottom cipher is at eye height. It contains letters in a grid of 5 rows and 26 columns. It contains what appear to be plain text words. A glyph containing an oscilating line and a dissected triangle points into one column of letters.
The cipher text reads:
