David + Tape, or "How I Spent My Spring Break At Grad School."

It's no secret that Josh and i managed to trick some really gifted people into being our friends. Check out David's experiment in urban space and its barriers: TAPE IN SPACE.

"An experiment in breaking the definitions of “wall” and engaging passer-byes who become participants simply by social instinct, I attempt to test the thresholds of our unconscious instincts towards barriers and create flows of pedestrian traffic in an urban environment with a minimal tool: duct tape."
i tried to embed the video but i am not gifted so you'll have to jump over to his site. It's nifty and has fun background music and, if you're like me (but maybe you're gifted) it plays with your perception of New Yorkers.
