The disks, I feel, need to be stacked one on top of the other in a sculptural arrangement. The principal aspect of the piece is the mass of disks, and this is best represented as a bulk, as opposed to a spread. I want them to be stacked freestanding on the floor in a way that in no way represents a familiar arrangement of floppy disks, yet is indicative of the sheer volume of them.
I'd like for the viewer to be able to see the top disk on any one stack, so that the object is openly accessible from as many viewpoints as possible.
Bearing this in mind, and taking into account that I currently have 88 disks to display, I have come to the following calculation:
1423 [1422.22] / 9 = 158.11
160 x 8 = 1280
1423 - 1280 = 143
8 stacks of 160 disks
