String Theory

The string activity was quite invasive. The idea of being able to unwind a ball of string and wrap it around the center of the room seemed like it would be a lot of fun, and it was. I found myself mostly to one side of the room, and I think a lot of people ended up segregated to one area during the project. After the first few rounds it became too difficult to move far. Some of the shapes that were created were very interesting, but for some reason I found myself more concerned with the tension of the string as it made its way from one hinge to another. I enjoyed the concept of what we were doing, playing with line and shape on a scale larger than ourselves, but I wish we could have seen it from a bird's eye view. And of course, having to unstring and untangle all of it was no kind of fun.
