Sticky tape playground is probably the most fun art installation ever
Ever found yourself sitting at home surrounded by a spare 24 cases of packing tape and thought "How I am ever going to use this?"
A group of installation artists have finally solved the excess tape problem that plagues our living rooms, in the most inventive way imaginable.
The TapeScape project has appeared around the world from America to Dubai, and now it's Australia's turn to play in tunnels made from nothing more than building scaffolds and tape.

The project uses only scaffolds and plastic "sticky tape" to construct tunnels and slides for children and adults with no concept of claustrophobia -- slipping, crawling and sliding to their hearts content.
Aside from looking cool TapeScape aims to give participants a creative, indoor multi-sensory play environment.
American artist Eric Lennartson, the brains behind the project, spoke with Mankato Free Press in 2015, alluding to the project's not-at-all-terrifying tunnel system as a partly inspired by the funnel web spider.
"It's an art installation, but at the same time, it looks like it could be a funnel-web spiderweb. It's structurally almost a three-dimensional suspension bridge because everything is in tension."
Opened on Dec. 5 at the Ipswich Gallery in Queensland, Australia's TapeScape is reportedly the biggest to date.
The exhibition runs until Feb. 26 2017.
