[rundown] This project is based on a system with a center point where ten catenaries are released and displaced around three sides of the jig. The catenaries have a mechanism in which the movement of left and right is achieved in order to imitate the movement of a jelly fish. The mechanism consists of having a pulley system in the middle of the jig where the main ten catenaries are held in the middle. The line is controlled by a bead where if pulled up or down, the lines move forward and backwards. This imitates the movement of a wave, hence the jelly fish. The four sides have a stick held by a fishing line and a bead. If the bead is pulled down, the five catenaries move up and creating the illusion of an opening a window. The movement permits us to transition from original state to the four different theater stages as well as different variations within these versions. Rhinoceros.
