Pin art performance I

Unrehearsed demo of the cool Giant Pin Art installation at the Sheboygan Children's Museum. This is similar to those toys on which you press against a set of moveable pins on a pad, producing a 3D imagine on the reverse side--but this pad is 6 feet tall and the pins are much longer than with the toy version.

that was so cool!

how did you create that giant pin art thing?

[SmallMarmot]

It's at a kids' museum in Sheboygan, Wis. I talked to them about how they made it. Basically, they got these panels of perforated metal, though which they stuck these long plastic pins (although that's an over-simplification). What makes it cool, besides the size, is that the pins are way longer than the metal ones used in those pin art toys, so you get greater depth and detail. The thing is also MUCH lighter than those metal ones. One could do a lot of create videos, if you had the time. -jb

Great idea! As a plastics engineer, I wonder if the plastic pins have heads on them or are extruded plastic strands? If they are headed - how was that accomplished?

Thanks, Dan
