I might never be spider man, but...
In Vienna, there is a group of artists who make tunnels out of packing tape which bear a heavy resemblance to spider webs. This sort of public art seems very effective to me: not only is it wild to see but observers are allowed to explore the caverns the artists make. The original idea spawned from a Croatian gallery when a small number of designers were toying around with packing tape. The most recent installation took 100 pounds of tape, over 117000 feet of material!

Those are some spectacular shots of the packing tape art. I wonder how long it took them to create, and how they could envision it in their minds to make those certain designs. This is a wonderful example of taking an everyday item and turning it into a unique art work. That is, however, a lot of tape used.

That is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. I have the same question as Adriel, how long did it take to make that? Also I would like to applaud you on your catchy blog post title because it really caught my eye and had me visit your sight.
ReplyDeleteThis looks really cool, and i had no idea that people did this! I like how it uses ordinary materials and makes it look like an animal made the art
