Fun with BuckyBalls

Photos by Miss Construed, Amadika, Jheppcatt.


I have a bunch of BuckyBalls sitting in the 1400 Gallery (my desk at the Tribune Tower). At the time the gallery was showing an exhibit of 10 puddle jumpers curated from a list of 56 puddle jumpers from flickr.

One day one of the sales people came over and started playing with them and put them on top of the puddle jumpers. He quickly realized that they can be put in a string and make the people into jump rope jumpers.

It was really cool. Even how in the orange photo, the rope is cut so it appears to go under the boy's leg. The BuckyBall jump rope really fits in well with these photos, because these are already happy photos. As if leaping over puddles wasn't fun enough, now the people are having even MORE fun jumping rope over a puddle.

I look forward to implementing the BuckyBalls into future exhibits of the 1400 Gallery.
