Sacks Spiral

Did you know that when you place integers on a regular spiral, the primes line up in slightly scrambled but still discernable curved bands?

The resulting Sacks spiral produces a remarkably organized distribution of prime and composite numbers.

A whole lotta tape

'Tape Installation' by the Croatian design collective 'for use/numen' is made of tendons of transparent multi-layered adhesive tape stretched between the columns of an ex-stock exchange building. The continuous wrapping of tendons results in a complex, amorphous webbed environment reminiscent of growing organic forms. Has 3M seen this yet?
