There’s certainly a lot of things you can do with electrical tape, but have you ever considered making a topographical map with it? I didn’t until I saw the amazing work pictured above by Japanese artist Takahiro Iwasaki. [via Colossal]

  if you read the inside of the paper roll, it says ‘Vinyl Electrical Tape’.

  That’s a typo. That’s too wide and impractical for electrical tape.

  Wide heavy duty tape, like the tape in the photograph, is used all the time in real electrical work.
  If you connecting two real wires the size of your arm with a Kearney, caring 144,000 volts, you don’t use that thin multi colored stuff you buy at your local Harbor Fright.
  Half inch Harbor Fright tape is probably OK for connecting two blinking LEDs, connected to your door bell, down in the your moms basement.

The duct of an electrical tape will give such a look!! I have never seen this before. This shows it is made for electrical use.
