Painted strips with quotes from different elected officials are posted down Commerce Street in downtown Wichita. The quotes are labeled without names and with phone numbers to the official who is responsible for the quote.

Run-A-Way proposal

My proposal is to create a structure that will cover most of my body and kind of look like a spider in its web. Reminiscent of a of a wolf spider in its web. It will consist of a frame that will support 12 legs that will move up and down. The legs will be made out of a light material like balsa wood and the frame will be made of a stronger wood. Fishing line connected to a motor will move the legs. the whole thing will be covered by a semitransparent white fabric. Overall I want the piece to look creepy and ominous.

 

Adafruit website

This site has several materials that can be used in light based pieces.  One of which, in my interest, being conductive cloth.
