This For Use/Numen self-supporting web is an incredible traveling art installation that was last seen at a Viennese stock exchange. The web is made entirely of packing tape, and is strong enough for passersby to actually climb in and navigate.
The next iteration of the For Use/Numen self-supporting web will be at the DMY Berlin International Design Fair, which runs from June 9-13. The web above used nearly 117,000 feet of packing tape--that's about 100 pounds!
Implications - The exquisite movements of these dancers creates interesting shapes that follow the choreography and create this visually enthralling exhibition. The art installation is inspired by dance as an art form and its ability to lead and shape forms when the graceful movements are tracked.
