Pillar 01 is the "Title Pillar".
It contains two cipher texts, the sculpture's title, and a string of numbers at the base.
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 current best decryption is:
Bottom cipher
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:
