STICKY BUSINESS

Here are a few photos from Maria and my explorations with clear packaging tape.  We went through 8rolls, 55yds each, for a total of 402meters of tape!

testing...
we needed something a bit larger as an armature



it can hold a book....

...but let's see if it can hold a person

hi maria!





we didn't quite convince sarah that it was structurally sound.

  1. This is a great study at full scale! What would you have to do to make convince Sarah and others to test it out? Can you use the layers of tape to embed more structure?

  2. Also, what would happen if you took this structure off its fabrication armature and moved it to another location? Will it still work? Can you morph these designs to be portable? Collapsible?
