TV-TANK transforms a petroleum trailer tank into a set of floating section suitable for lounging and watching television. The 35 foot long aluminum tank is sliced into eight rings. Each module is lined with rubber tubing and equipped with 26” flat screen televisions. Viewers lounge in the privacy of single or double sections, while experiencing the once-hidden interior of the entire oil tank, animated by the flicker of television light. Sections can also be extracted to become individual viewing modules.
