I recently stumbled across Shanghai-based designer Chris Hosmer's remarkable tape drawings. I love the expressiveness and fluidity he achieves with the mundane "medium" of electrical tape.
Hosmer describes how he was inspired while working on a GM Saturn design team, when a veteran car designer "drew" an entire car profile out of tape before his very eyes. The process, he says, is very physical and is more controlled than a whiteboard, but also feels like you're running your hands along the profile of a real car.
Here's a stop-motion video of a mural Hosmer did:

From electrical tape to cassette tapes:
Here is another example from Erika Iris Simmons:

Great stuff.
Check out Max Zorn, he creates "stained glass windows" using tape and plexi glass and then installs them around the streets of Amsterdam. Saw one in person and it was great, during the day it looks like an incognito brown square and at night fall...beautiful!
