Knotrush
|
|
Knotrush is flexible like a spine to reflect the constantly changing patterns of movement and improvised actions characteristic of urban sidewalk culture. The bench-like structure, a reconfigurable and responsive object becomes a small-scale community space for ongoing dialogue between people and ultimately reflects the values embedded in daily patterns of action. The possibility of not only using but also altering the structure invites play and interaction with others, present or not. The interactive potential of Knotrush suggests new modes of ownership of public places, even if temporary, and provides a catalyst for conversation, performance, and play in urban space.
