original stool

Original Stool
The design is the production process. The original stools are produced by using landscape as a crucial part of the formative process; rivers, hills (...).
The result is an unpredictable character, depicting the capturing story of its accruement. No two stools are the same; all have their own story and a place to call 'home'.
They are the children of a carefully conceived, free-range kinetic process.
The process captures specific time and place by permitting topography and meteorology to provide the distinguishing individual characteristics for each piece.
It uses the principle of rotational moulding.
A special constructed robust, hollow sphere is housing a suspended silicon mould of the stool.
After filling the mould with a specific mix of resin the sphere is allowed to interact with the terrain - Surrendered to the formative surrounding, it is maybe pummelled by white water or rolled down a secluded woodland path.
The serendipity within the rotation, subtle or manifest, is recorded by the flexing walls of the silicon mould.
The resin hardens in unique distortions and colour patterns, due to the landscape the orb is rolling on.
The process is in the foreground; full of chance, without a possibility of controlled intervention, it celebrates the importance of coincident. The journey of the orb forms a strong character, a manifestation of time and place.
A shift from object to experience takes place.

I get wet!! (video) Water Gate by Michael Tatschl, Sascha Mikel, and Martin Schnabl » @mrjyn @nichopoulouzo

Watergate - No Scandal!

On second thought, who’d love to get sprayed by malfunction? On the other hand again, getting hit by a malfunctioning water gate will always be less painful than a turnstile-gone-wild. What we’ve got here is a genuine gate made of water. Jets of water blocking unwelcome parties, access granted by entry card. Fabulously wet!

The idea for this project and design came after a long day at the fairground, where turnstile after turnstile brought on the wish for an updated solution to low-security peacekeeping.

Water is only a psychological barrier. Fleeing, panicking persons can escape through the gate without being hindered by any rigid media.

In addition, such a gate is accessible by any number of people, including those in wheelchairs, those on bicycles, and those who’ve got animal pals (I’m talkin about seeing-eye-dogs and so forth).

I get wet!

Easing Into Yourself

Easing Into Yourself

(L-R) Impersonator Jesse Volt, actress Joan Rivers, Gary Dee and Joe Posa promote the TV Land PRIME series “How’d You Get So Rich?” at the CBS Early Show Studio Plaza on August 4, 2009 in New York City.

Whether you love her or hate her, you must admit that Joan Rivers has kept her wits sharp and tongue even sharper at the rip age of 76.  It’s difficult to think of Rivers as anybody but who she is now, a raspy voiced, cutting comedienne who is completely open about her experience with plastic surgery and pokes fun of herself before anybody else can.   For anyone who got to know Joan as the E! Entertainment pre-awards host, it is difficult to imagine her ballsy cut downs working as a young woman (below she is in her late 30s).

Born to Russian immigrants in Brooklyn, New York as Joan Molinsky, she went on to graduate from Barnard College.  It was during college that she was inspired to seek a career on stage, after having seen a Lenny Bruce performance.  Her resume filled out during the 60s and 70s as a stand-up comedian and she became the first and only permanent guest host for The Tonight Show under Johnny Carson in 1983.  She has written 10 books throughout her adult life and she is going to be roasted next week on Comedy Central! Is Joan Rivers your bag?

Morbid Anatomy: Introducing Crappytaxidermy.com

Introducing Crappytaxidermy.com









My friend Kelli just alerted me to a new, great, and somewhat misleadingly named website: Crappytaxidermy.com. Ostensibly a collection of crappy taxidermy, the website is much more than that and far better and broader than the name suggests; it is in fact a kind of visual collection of the many ways in which mankind's unending pleasure in preserving, depicting, and re-creating animals including taxidermy (crappy and otherwise), models, museum dioramas, and creative taxidermy is expressed. Endless fun to peruse, though--sadly--and my only complaint--no credits to find out photographer or artifact information.
