Sunnyside Pavillion - Interactive Installation

As part of the Art Initiatives 2009 Sunnyside Pavillion Art Show and Sale, I put together this stick project. The idea is illustrated below - "take a stick, add it on, repeat". I was pleased at how many people took part in making this large structure. To make assembly as easy as possible, I created elastic bands by cutting a bicycle inner tube into sections. Being extremely strong, these "gummies" (so called by one group of participating kids) allowed a joint to be created between sticks in a matter of seconds.
