Tape art

Tape art is a contemporary visual art practice in which pressure-sensitive adhesive tape is used as a primary medium to create images, patterns, installations and sculptural forms. Tape-based works range from temporary murals and participatory public artworks made with low-adhesive tape to site-specific installations in coloured vinyl tape and three-dimensional works formed by casting and layering clear or translucent tapes.

While many tape works are intentionally temporary and removable, some artists have developed tape-based techniques intended for long-term exhibition, including illuminated packing-tape images mounted on acrylic or Plexiglas and presented as light boxes in galleries and museums.
