the art of ‘thread wrapping’

thread_machine1

the thread wrapping machine by artist antona alvarez:

…a tool to join different types of material with only a glue-coated thread to bind the objects. No screws or nails are used to join the different components of the furniture. By using this construction method, materials such as wood, steel, or plastic can be joined to form objects and constructed spaces…

i recieved these images in the mail this week: a piece of typography i created for the ‘sugar factory’ for a poster a few years back (using powdered sugar) has been turned into a large steel & led light installation by artist ‘diederik schoorl’… nice!

bang bang

guns_tobin_smith

much like arguing that the swastika is one of the strongest and most effective logos ever made (it is) saying that guns are beautiful (as objects) can be a difficult thing to admit… even to yourself, i must admit however that the ‘gun series’ from dan tobin smith really does remind how aesthetically alluring guns are… which paradoxically reminds me how terrible & ugly they also are
