The coffee filter – essentially a thin circular piece of paper – is flimsy and difficult to control. Rolling and banding them into "fibers" affords a substantially stronger and rigid material that is easier to manipulate and utilize to generate volumetric surface forms. These "fibers," so named in attribution to the fibrous nature of the product, were assembled, collated and banded into modular forms capable of yielding complex surfaces determined by varying degrees of contiguity and porosity. Furthermore, these resulting modules have the ability to aggregate, connecting at three discrete receptor sites that yield a network of oscillating surface and spatial conditions upon modular proliferation.
