Bouncy Rubberband Room

One room. Millions of rubberbands.

This room has everything that can be hung by a rubberband hung by a rubberband. Nothing is left out. Objects are categorized for the fewest repeats as possible. So there may be a pen, and a pencil, and a highlighter, and a paintbrush, and one of those expensive heavy pens, but not that cool pen you saw at the store with the naked lady on it.

Then, the ceiling vibrates at different rates, hitting the bouncy natural frequency of various hanging objects in the room. As the frequency of the ceiling increases the resonant hangers change, and new patterns form in the array of bouncing objects on the ceiling, and it's all for show.

I just want to get pictures of people's faces when they come across a piece of poo, or a condom, or a dead birdie, or a dead baby snake, or a picture of someone's butt and then sell them back to said people for a small fee.

       I like this from an artist's point of view. Maybe if it was a "take a picture of your face in shock" studio or some kind of Art Installation, you'd get a better response.+

       So this is kind of like those photos you used to get of you flying down a crappy water flume at a local fun park... only there's no fun ride, just some poo on a rubber band. In a room. Vibrating.   

       Doesn't sound that shocking to me. Plus poo has a tendency to splatter, not bounce. Depending on its water content, of course.

       Maybe /shock/ is the wrong word. GumBob didn't use that word, I did. So he wants pictures of their faces in varied emotions: disgust, blankness, weird, laughing, whatever, but what he really wants is to sell them for profit.

       This was going very well right up until the piece of poo. Shame, really.

       Ahh, I've trampled the fine balance of a good idea. Shit.

       No, you still have balance: the middle paragraph is good, the first and last paragraphs are bad. - + -

       For maximum vibration, suspend the objects in the middle of a long rubber band going from floor to ceiling. That way the objects can't bounce all the way back up to the ceiling, and you could also shake the ceiling sideways and make the objects spin...

       Hahaha... What? Oh man... I've gotta lotta learn...
daseva, May 03 2006
  

       ...we all do [GumBob] and you should've let them hang the pen with the naked lady on it. That was your first mistake.
