Pictures of Springthing
We’ve only built a mini-one. Click on the pictures for blowups.
Persuaded Katya to order some surgical latex tubing from a guy in the states, and I grabbed some before I flew back from Boston.
Only 50 feet of it is shown here. Katya has another 150 feet, so her version will be three times as big.
Shame our house is so cluttered, in the real thing it would have a plain background I guess. The knots look pretty crap and we’ll have to be sure of the fixings.
Wondering about driving it with servos or something. Any thoughts, Michal?

What is the dynamics like? Does it yo-yos? How much force does it need?
Art-wise: yep, a plain white background would work best. Also having bright coloured items might help it “emerge”. The “glowing-in-the-dark” design might also look very interesting.
