System 2

The most fascinating part of the system happened when I accidently removed the tension of the string. This resulted in the object falling. At the time I was just focusing on doing research by making so I wasn’t looking for a conceptual meaning behind the falling of the object.

Finding out that the only reason the object felt was the removing of the tension fascinated me. This created the search towards a hack within the system. How can I let the object fall but being able to catch it again.

The result of letting the object be able to hang balanced again was the fixing of the lines in the front of the object, helplines. These lines determent how the object is hanging in the lifeline. If they are equal the object will be leveled. If the top one is smaller the front of the object will face more upwards. This gave me the freedom the play with the positioning of the object.
