Base structure made out of sails and wooden poles that can be illuminated. Construction/design work by Jagenau (contact via Moem). Jagenau is an orga member of Bornhack (Denmark) and builds the bar out of poles and translucent tarps every year; she has agreed to use the same technique for a freestanding tarp sculpture that will be lit up. It can be as big as the length of the poles permit. We are hoping to use pioneer wood for the poles; Jagenau is used to working without nails or screws.
Here is a description of what the sculpture will look like:
- The branches of the dead tree will be lengthened with poles (which need to be sourced somewhere)
- The poles will be attached with straps and other non-destructive means
- Triangular, translucent tarps will be fastened to the poles to form a flower-like shape
- UV-reactive wool will also play a part
Dependencies
- Sculpture needs UV lighting.
- Sculpture does not need a permit.
- TODO: Power in watts?
- If the sculpture is meant to be interactive (lighting), it will need network.
Status
- TODO: Buildlog...
Howto: Prepare
- There is no off site preparation required. Just the gathering of the materials: poles, tarps, rope, luggage straps and ground pegs.
TODO: Describe the manufacturing process in the highest level of detail.
For now: Poles are erected, covered with translucent tarps and built into a structure that's held up and secured by ropes and pegs. The structure is lit.
Howto: Buildup
- These details will be filled in in dialogue with Jagenau, who will oversee this project.
- TODO: Where to get the stuff from?
- TODO: How many volunteers are required?
- TODO: How much time is required?
- TODO: Provide instructions on how to set up the installation on the event site.
Howto: Teardown
- The poles go back to wherever they came from. The tarps and ropes etc. go back to Jagenau. There is very little waste.
