Cantocore Guangzhou Opening Friday

Bamboo scaffolding is a low resolution grid used to produce a higher resolution structure. Living in Guangzhou is inspirational because of the scale of buildings, real imaginations constructed, and accessibility to cheap materials and constant laborers.

Bamboo for #cantocore

Bamboo structure

The first version of the Bamboo structure being constructed. It has received a second revision now to make it much much stronger, all from 24 pieces of 7 meter bamboo.

For Cantocore, opening on friday here in Guangzhou from 8-10 PM, I’ve built, with the assistance of Chinese carpenters, a large 7 meter structure of bamboo which might be likened to Big Ben, hence, its a Chinese Big Ben.

I’ll have more notes about my project tomorrow at the unveiling :) Plus, have some code to write still (at the top of a 7 meter bamboo structure).
