In search for structure

After speaking with Patrick, i have received some new inspiration. In my drawing i was starting to explore the tension within the device and how movement in the cable or the wires is influenced by the movement of these arms. Further exploration includes the possible movement of the device along the cable: with different geometries produced by the changes in height and location of the cable ends. But more important the change in time, through different speeds may produce some interesting results. The proscenium is to include a frame supporting a tight cable, structure above to support lighting and projection screens backdrops. Structural members can be manipulated to create variable conditions for the path of travel. I envision the frame can move up and down, each end independent through a gear/chain system. The side to side movement can be created by a similar system. Perhaps pulleys are the answer. I will have to look into it further tonight. The goal is to have some kind of apparatus to allow for multiple movements to photograph these geometries.
