the chart below shows the resting line levels in the assembled sculpture, the yellow line are bob's numbers
note how the tension in the overall network increases proportionately
the pink line represents the installation at time of mockup
the blue line represents the installation at time of final assembly.
the difference stems from temperature variations and minute assemble differences.(I.e. the tendons were screwed in slightly further…)
