These are balls I made from slicing up innertubes into rubber bands and then stretching the bands into balls.
I highly recommend you make one.
You get innertubes by walking into a bike repair shop and asking them for old tubes from their garbage, which they are more than happy to give you. (It costs $ to dispose garbage)
With a pair of scissors, cut the tubes into rubber bands. These are some of the best rubber bands in the world! They do not deteriorate like store bought bands and are excellent for bundling cables, etc.
Twist a band into a little ball, and wrap more bands around it. Keep doing that. Again and again. Keep them as smooth as possible. To help keep the ball round, toss and spin it in the air to reorient the direction of the placement of bands as you are adding them.
You may have varying diameter of bands depending on the different tubes you have cut, so work from smallest diameter to largest. If you are having trouble stretching the bands over the balls consider cutting thinner width bands.
Elastic band fits around ankles for control of position during kicks. Helps neutralize kicking motion during pull sets.
there were boxes upon boxes of elastics in the yellow bus in the tulip field
each seat in the bus had a few boxes of elastics on it.
It was mesmerizing
then I estimated the number of tulips on each row, and multiplied the cost of a bunch of 5 tulips at the market ($4) by the number of tulips per row, then estimated the rows of tulips in the acres of flowers in front of us
a million-dollar(s) view indeed
cut down the very next day, to harvest the bulbs and to plant a new crop of different flowers
Last week, the company where I work organised two symposia. All participants received a notebook and pen to make notes during the presentations. The rest was distributed among the employees. The elastic band of the notebook was a perfect item for the challenge.

Gianni Colombo’s Elastic Space
By Jane Clark
Gianni Colombo studied painting and ceramics in Milan; but was also experimenting with unconventional materials, photography, and even cinema from the mid 1950s. He greatly admired the work of Lucio Fontana. In 1959 he exhibited at the Azimut gallery, just opened by Enrico Castellani (whose artworks you’ve already seen) and where he first met Zero founder Heinz Mack from Düsseldorf. That year also, he and a group of adventurous younger Italian artists founded their own Gruppo T collective, sharing interests in perception and the idea that viewers and participatory art objects were together engaged in a continuous interaction or feedback loop.1
Colombo was included in an important exhibition, Arte programmata. Arte cinetica. Opere moltiplicate. Opera aperta (Programmed art. Kinetic art. Multiplied works. Open works), which toured in Italy, then to Düsseldorf, London, and New York during 1962–64 with a catalogue text by Umberto Eco. He showed in the second Nul exhibition in Amsterdam in 1965, along with Mack, Piene, Uecker, Peeters, Megert, Luther, Fontana, Vigo, Castellani, Kusama and, posthumously, Klein; and was in 4.documenta at Kassel in 1968 with a number of the same artists. That same year, he was awarded the National Grand Prize of the 36th Venice Biennale for the work you see here, Spazio elastico, blurring the boundaries between art forms and demanding visitor participation.
Colombo served as professor at his alma mater, the Brera Academy in Milan, from 1968, and as Director from 1985. By the 1980s, his work was increasingly focussed on public art and architectural projects.
