| Introduction | In 1976, artist Ward Fleming devised a method of creating patterned perforations in paper using settable nail blocks. An interest in the 3-D potential of the perforation equipment led Fleming to hang the nails directly into hand-perforated metal sheets to create a field of pendulums that produced wave patterns when vibrated or stroked by hand. To increase the resolution, Fleming soon switched from nails to pins, setting them in mass-produced perforated metal screens. |
