WHITE O U T





Called WhiteOut, the installation consists of parallel panels made of thermally-bonded polypropylene filaments, suspended from the ceiling. The screens move apart in response to the static charge of visitors walking between them, returning to their positions once people have passed. http://www.dezeen.com/2010/02/24/whiteout-by-spaceoperaform/#more-66402
