Turnpike Prank

When the Highway Dept. makes a person wait too long in line to pay a toll, it gives that person too much time to think!

Computational Origami

How does one package large objects to send into space?

The ancient art of Japanese paper folding, combined with a computer, solves the problem.

Recycled materials, innovative design, new housing for the rural poor: these aren't just do-gooder busy work; these are works of ART!

Falwell's New Nightmare

Grandma Prisby

Grandma Prisby is a hero of mine. Her Bottle Village was close to where I lived. I never visited. I regret that.

I met Grandma Prisby at the Woman's Building in Los Angeles. She built semicircular walls, composed of concrete, toothbrushes, doll parts, bottles and other junk on the 3rd floor gallery. They were fascinating.

Mask Pics Soon!

speaking of pics, Mike, the photographer, came by today w/his digital camera and photographed the masks, cat pillows, fairy rag ladies and gourd bird houses!

He also brought me some gold fish for my tub pond & took me to store so I could buy dog and cat food.

You'll be seeing masks, etc, in the next few days.

A real gentleman, no?

Language Free Candidates

The California Recall

On October 7, voters in the state of California will be asked to vote on whether to recall Governor Gray Davis.

The huried nature of this election gives we, the people, little time to get to know our candidates.

As a part of our public outreach programs, Language Removal Services has here created the first "language-free" political debate.

It is our hope that this will allow you to better understand the true positions of the candidates. Below, we present language removals of the leading candidates to replace Davis.

To listen, click on the "MP3" next to each candidate. Files are downloadable.[at website, not here]

Gray Davis (Incumbent) (D) MP3
Arianna Huffington (I) MP3
Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) MP3
Cruz Bustamante (D) MP3

Live Pelt

Ronald Feldman Gallery

Group: alt.discuss.internet.sites.weird Date: Tue, Sep 30, 2003, 8:32pm (MDT-1) From: (roboT2003)
--- Live Pelt, by Kelly Heaton, is a multimedia installation based on the transformation of 64 previously owned Tickle Me Elmo dolls, the popular consumer toy, into a woman?s coat. Fashioned from the toys? pelts and electronics, the coat (entitled The Surrogate) provides full body vibration and is designed to be a substitute lover.

Using Elmo as a vector to channel information about contemporary American culture, the installation encompasses moods both poignant and Frankenstein weird. The narrative investigates frontier economics, the human-machine relationship, and the technologist?s power to play with life. In all seriousness, Heaton?s sense of humor prevails.
