Gravity pulls the strings straight down in a way that resembles an arc, similar to (but certianly more complicated than!)the arcs made by electrical wires strung between telephone poles.

You have a good question–I’m not sure if there will be enough air circulation to move the strings. But I’ve noticed so far that the appearance of the strings varies greatly from morning to evening; the colors of the strings becoming much more subdued as the light grows brighter throughout the day. I’m very curious to see how this installation will change over time!

Thanks for your interest, and I hope you can come see Gravity’s Loom!

I have so many questions! Why does gravity pull the strings in an arc instead of straight down? Will air circulating in the pavilion move the strings?
