Keep flossing...

More flossing formation... Another team member came up with the swirl over night. I'm quite amazed by it. Something you think 'Dang it. Why didn't I come up with that!?'
The later experiment started to form a more grided/ wired logic. The tension between each pieces/ joints started to warp in the similar manner as the 'swirl' so that was abandoned too. Working on another formation...

Flossing

Having filtered through number of 'cell' ... ot 'item' if you preferred... the group and tutors had fallen into the lure of the spikey white devil.
The dental floss apparatus measures 72mm in length...2mm in thickness and about 18mm in the other dimension. With a flossing wire threaded thru the fork-end of the shapely bone-like unit. The tension in the wire decrease the more we experiment with the object which gives this inanimate object an apparent 'life-span'.


Connecting each unit was difficult... one... it wasn't meant to be connected (unike previous items tested)... two... due to its smooth surface friction between each is greatly reduce. It was quite obvious the flossing wire will provide some connectivity... it still proved to be a challenge. Many occasion we struggled with the unit but was reluctant to let the go of the whiteness...
A network logic then was injected to form a web of different connections ( it was limited to 3 or 4 types). Fromt the onset it looked promising. Each joint has some sculptural quality in itself...and the shadow it casted was interesting enough. It was not the most efficient way since it consumed 8 pieces to form one stable joint.




Thanks to Sandra for bring us cheese and crackers though...
