aluminium poles, cut and welded together again, serially attached in a long string to adhesive paper tape
Numerous industrially manufactured units describe an analogous serial sequence. However, each of these aluminum rods has been divided and re-welded. The weld individualizes each rod with a distinctive scar, which interrupts the regularity of the standardized form. The separation and joining of the material programs energy: the sections, mounted on paper tape and rolled up, become accumulators of time and matter.
