I created the Mobius Strip with copy paper, colored pencil and clear tape, as well as using a board and a box cutter for cutting the strips to size.  The Strip itself is done with three twists instead of the standard one, and it does loop inside itself a few times to create a compact yet neat and symmetrical figure.

The colors themselves are coordinated to the actual beatmap for the song in the rhythm game, with purple being going up the screen and green doing down (the game from which the beatmap was taken is called Cytus, which utilizes a scanning line to read the notes and time the player's input), with a bit of black text to represent the beginning of the song as well as a restart text to make the repetition more visible.

The texture of the actual piece is just copy paper with occasional roughness from the tape.  I approached this project as more a prototype for a possible installation (in an optimal setting with optimal talent, I envision a looping LED strip statue with possibly one side for viewer interaction with the piece), and as such the detail and texture are not optimal.  The strips also do not always line up perfectly, and the shape of the Mobius Strip was hard to control due to the paper and tape used (some parts resisted bending nicely, or if they were already bent, were hard to straighten out).

The three words, Restart, Ready and Go, were moved to be visible from above, as well as the final note with an X to represent a mistap in the song and the restarting of the game.
