watershed » cardboard mario kart

when i dreamt up cardboard wipeout, it was for a two-day, 10 hour slot. it was appropriate to go “here’s your empty shipping container, let’s figure out how to fill it”. but a three-hour workshop is quite different, and so: blank canvas, like before? or… and if “or”, then what? the decision was to prime the space with a section of track: a figure-of-eight is a classic use of limited space, it gets you a bridge, it makes you consider how walls might work, and is a good demo for efficient use of a cardboard box. well, three. quite elegant, i think.
