Yes, the idea of floating a “junk” raft is undoubtedly bitten from a much more interesting artist, Swoon, who had done it the previous year. Here’s a video about the artist from around that time, including one of the raft projects. https://youtu.be/h9rTmTFMYH0 https://youtu.be/h9rTmTFMYH0 I happened to see one of these rafts being constructed. They may look like junk on the top, but that is just Swoon’s art style, a 3d collage of different materials. The raft platforms themselves were prototyped and tested. I am not a boating person so I don’t know how safe they really wore, but they were far more solid than you would expect from their outward appearance. The whole thing was still a mad adventure though, one of my favorite art projects of the decade.
