Post-it notes art on office windowpanes was yesterday! Today they produce the most extraordinary post-digital pixel art in chainlink fences of all places! They do so by pushing standard plastic drinking cups in the fences' mesh. Chain link fences have this tilted grid of holes and plastic cups fit in there almost perfectly. If not, they are made to fit by cutting them lengthways with a single cut reaching from the bottom of the drinking cup to the top. If you then twist the cup a little and shove it into one of the fence's diagonally arranged mesh holes, you've basically done the same thing as doing a knot in a normal friendship bracelet, only in urban surroundings , with different material and on a bigger scale. If you had plastic drinking cups or slim plastic bottles in a wider range of colours or if you painted them, you could actually turn a public fence into a giant rendering of a normal friendship bracelet pattern! I don't even think this would be illegal in any way, as the cups can be removed without a trace at any time. And of course there are always some creative kids or "revisionist" people around who will immediately apply changes to your public work of art, so you better take a picture of it soon.
I'm sure some of you who have seen the movie "Plastic Planet" would object to this practice and not see it as a way of recycling at all. Personally, I'd prefer to give this new art form a try with the origami paper cone I had been taught by a member of the British Origami Society.
You can of course achieve marvellous or even hilarious results by just using white colour for your cups or cones, especially at the time of dusk or if the background landscape is dark in comparison. If my new normal font, which is, as it were, 10 plastic cups high ever comes about, you're welcome to use that one on any fences, too!

Vice versa, you could also present some of the patterns you've just seen in the street in any of your upcoming normal bracelets ;)
