@ark_brut A bit beyond my current skills, so I looked for something much simpler: youtube.com/shorts/g0-eD9c5uog. I used four lolly sticks and two rubber bands lying around the kitchen.

The only tricky part was cutting the notches with a craft knife and a self-healing mat.

I might try other tensegrity structures, but some need holes like the bed slat structure which is a step up in terms of equipment and skills.

Nature promotes diversity, don't be anti-nature.
Good #Stonewall uprising anniversary! (28th of June)
This piece was created as follows: each element was generated based on a prime number from 2 upwards, specifically the first six decimal places of its square root. The first four decimals defined the shape, the next two the colours.
Shapes are based on the properties of the plastic ratio (plastic as in plastic arts, not the infamous material), a lesser-known ratio with many interesting properties.
As can be seen in the second picture, there are several ways to connect the ends of a quarter of a unit circle as a sequence of quarter sectors with radii the inverse powers of this ratio, up to the fifth. There are exactly ten possibilities disregarding sector rotations, so each one can represent one decimal place (third picture), and four sides make up the whole shape.
For the colours, each decimal represents one of ten colours; inside they are renderend lighter and outside darker.
Lastly, the grey background was generated using the Halton sequences of 2, 3 and 5.
