These artists created a larger than life spider web using 117,000 feet of packing tape in a former stock exchange building in Vienna. Check out the full story with multiple pics on Fastcompany. The time lapse video below, also courtesy of Fastcompany, gives you a glimpse into how they did it.
When I was a kid I wanted to be an astronaut. I even went to Space Camp and still have the sky blue flight suit to prove it. So, yeah, I geek out on the final frontier. This video took six weeks, and over 100 hours of footage shot on several Canon EOS 5D Mark II cameras.
Making something new and interesting means you have to see the world differently. You have to re-invent the canvas. I’ve seen things like this before, but I love that this was done by college students, not some techno-artist from NYC. It comes from Poland’s Wroclaw University of Technology and it’s called “Projekt P.I.W.O.”
David Goggins is a Navy SEAL, ultra-marathoner, and I’m pretty sure he’s also a cyborg. Just saying. Either way, he is a fantastic example of what it means to blow out the walls of personal expectations and make something remarkable happen.
I may never run a 150 mile foot race or have the opportunity to go all Jack Bauer on Bin Laden, but I can push my own boundaries and expectations of what is possible for me. We all have moments of clarity when we surprise ourselves and realize that we sell ourselves short. I was told that today, that I don’t believe confidently enough in myself and my abilities. So I’m going to take David Goggins advice tomorrow and invite you to do the same:
Try something that will truly test your soul’s limit.
Stay at something until it’s uncomfortable. Then go a bit farther.
Write this on a sticky note and read it aloud: “My life doesn’t have a finish line.”
Replace the things you do to just fill time–email, planning instead of doing, Twittering, whatever–with a narrow window of time dedicated to accomplishing just ONE thing with excellence.
Just four things in one day. That’s it. I’m going to give it a shot and let you know how it goes. You do the same and we’ll compare notes tomorrow. Deal?
