  1. Oh yea. I saw this a while back. It is really cool. The fact that it could also sustain weight I thought really brought the whole piece together; really emulating the spider web and making the artist/observer really become the "pest" in full scale.

  2. That is really cool! I love the form that was made, but I was especially interested in the concept and the process of making the structure. The website wrote :“The installation is based on an idea for a dance performance in which the form evolves from the movement of the dancers between the pillars,” explains For Use’s Christoph Katzler. “The dancers are stretching the tape while they move, so the resulting shape is a recording of the choreography.”

    The time lapse video showing the creation process from start to finish was fun to watch and see how many people and how long it takes to put together something like that.
