Intersection Piece:
Dave Scott, 2006



With this piece I wanted to explore boundaries, intersections of lines, and borders. How we use them. How we react to them. Why we behave a certain way when confronted with these borders and boundaries.

To explore this idea, I bought a roll of red electrical tape. I used the tape to create lines which would break up, intersect, and disrupt the natural order of lines and patterns we see every day. The lines would become newly introduced architectural elements - creating new artificial borders and boundaries.

I went to a shopping mall to stretch lines of red tape across floors, chairs, waste receptacles, benches, doors, and other flat surfaces. Tape was left in place until someone reacted to the newly defined boundaries.
