Team 2 - The MAD Collective


I would say BLAM!!!...


...but we are all far too tired :(

While it may not seem like a demanding task, tying our specially cut ribbons to every hexagon onto the chicken wire cladding takes a very mental toll.
Delirium.....


However, we soldiered on, and have currently completed the tying of all 50,000 blue ribbons onto the interior sides of our structures. BLAM!


As we have pre-fabricated our structure in SHED 4, all that remains is to go on site tomorrow morning and connect the structure together and attach our lighting system for the evening experience.



As we have had little structural site presence for most of the competition (in terms of having no part at all of the installation on site until late Friday afternoon), the guerrilla installation effect of dramatically and rapidly changing a landscape within a very short period of time appeals to us all, reminiscent of Sam Rice's cardboard room installations presented at the symposium at BMW Edge on Tuesday.

Since we cannot construct on site until council noise restrictions are lifted, we have been given a message from above to get some sleep (Greg), so we are now set to retire to our comfortable abodes at Urban Central until sunrise Saturday morning.

11 hours to go....5 of them sleep?
