PROCESS

Our group experimented with bubbles for our membrane structure. We used a rectangular string
frame to loft a base bubble plane, and used two wire rings to intersect the plane and manipulate
it. By casting shadows of the bubbles onto the wall and using video rather than photography as
a method of recording it, we magnified the visible effects of manipulating the bubbles. Through
our experimentation, we discovered an optimal solution for bubble water as well as the optimal
material with which to modify the bubbles.
