I recently built this miniature tensegrity table. It's 6 1/2" in diameter and 5 3/4" tall, with 5" long pyramid sides. The top and bottom are walnut, and the pyramids are maple.
See craftisian.com/projects/11135-mini-tetrahedral-tensegrity... for details.
The three tensegrity struts would run diagonally across each flexeez in a consistent way throughout the model, being either pin-pin or hole-hole. Adding these consistent diagonals to Mrs. Stott's expansion turns it into the map operation called snub.
Tendons run along all four "swoops" of each flexeez. Some (connected to the same end points) become redundant parallel tendons.
The sculpture is the 1977 Kenneth Snelson tensegrity sculpture "Easy Landing", that is in front of the Maryland Science Center in Baltimore.

My work often takes the form of installations that are the result of long-term performances in which my body is entangled with other materials. In this project I dug a hole in a public space for 8 months long. In general I use the human body as a point of departure for the creation of new concepts in the realm of the “us”. I intend to do so by performing actions or situations that defy assumptions about what physicality is and how it should behave. I aim to develop a new aesthetics of strength in relation to movement, and detached from traditional values such as virility, certainty and control.
THESIS: Ode to Movement, The Tensegrity Principle and the threshold of solids.
Our intuitive idea of solidity shapes the way we experience our body and its relationship with other bodies in space. We think a solid fills a space. We think that because a solid does not change, it can only engage in certain relationships with other things. But a space is an event; it is a matter of taking place. Can we think of a structural principle of physical, spacial entities that focus on the threshold of matter? One that allows us to see solids moving in unexpected ways and engaging in new relationships?

“Amor Fati: SAMSARA”; I took the idea of the repeating cycle of birth, life and death (reincarnation) as well as one’s actions and consequences in the past, present and future. Stretching back before birth into past experiences and reaching forward beyond death into future reincarnations. Samsara’s literal meaning is a “wandering through” which is in reference to the passage through many states of existence. And the belief that a person continues to be born and reborn in various realms. Thus, leading to a new personality in a new form to arise somewhere within the totality of phenomenal worlds, which represents states of mental qualities and experiences. An endless cycle of existence and knowledge. (Abstract Film)
THESIS: Electronics are the new black
The Future of Wearable Electronic Art ― Digital Dresses to Remote ― Control Couture “Will the future be exposed to a revolutionary interface and change the interaction between contemporary fashion and new-age technology, suggesting a quasi-notion of intersecting the body, couture and technology?”

GEM, Den Haag 2012
Matthew Day Jackson (1974) heeft al jaren succes met zijn spraakmakende installaties in de Verenigde Staten. Sinds kort verovert hij ook museaal Europa. In samenwerking met het MAMbo in Bologna en het Kunstmuseum Luzern, brengt het GEM, museum voor actuele kunst in Den Haag begin 2012 zijn eerste grote solotentoonstelling in Europa.
The Hague’s GEM museum is pleased to present the final installation of In Search of…, Matthew Day Jackson’s (b. 1974) first major solo European exhibition. In cooperation with MAMbo in Bologna (Italy) and Kunstmuseum Luzern (Switzerland), the exhibition includes work from 2007 to present and frames it within the line of thought that has developed in Jackson’s work.
This decorated model shows three kis-truchet triangles that perform the map operation "snub" tiling a triangle. In tiling a triangle on a sphere, there is another triangle, decorated the same way, underneath. The result is 3 full-length struts and 9 tendons--the classic tensegrity T- prism.
Snub of a tetrahedron on the sphere is the expanded octahedron.
The two tensegrity struts run diagonally across each flexeez in a consistent way throughout the model: either pin-pin or hole-hole. Adding these consistent diagonals to Mrs. Stott's expansion turns it into the polyhedral operation called snub.
Tendons run along all four "swoops" of each flexeez. Some, connected to the same end points, become redundant parallel tendons, others, connected at each end to the same endpoint, contract into degenerate loops.
