“Out of the Box” is an expression that describes a non-conformist way of creative thinking. The term is used as an adverb to describe the thinking, or as an adjective to describe the ideas. It is said to be derived from a famous puzzle, created by early twentieth century British mathematician Henry Ernest Dudeney. In which someone is asked to connect nine dots in a 3x3 grid using four straight lines drawn without the pencil leaving the paper. This installation is an attempt to visualize this term, using rubber bands connected together to create a flying box.
