chest drying machine with built-in blinding device

This project is still on the drawing table. The Goatmother and I almost pulled off the construction of this over the summer, but ran outta time. This guy is a “wall-mounted, foot-switch operated, heat-less chest drying machine with built-in blinder”. It is a handy unit that mounts to any wall...

Description:
The bottom section of the device contains the chest drying fan. It is mounted to the wall at average chest level height. Besides the fan, this unit also contains a strand of christmas lights. The front panel of this section is constructed from plexi-glass. Text and designs (along with a set of user instructions) are applied to the plexi-glass and backlit by the strand of christmas lights inside the box. The fan exhaust in the center of the front panel should be equipped with tassels, which indicate fan is working.
The top section contains two VERY POWERFUL flood lights, which shine through two eye-holes at the front. We call this section the blinder, and it is adjustable to most heights to get full effect.
The entire device is easily operated via foot-switch.
How it works:
1.- stand directly in front of the device so that chest is aligned with fan exhaust.
2.- adjust blinder so that user eyes are aligned with device eye-holes.
3.- click foot-switch button once to turn power on.
4.- enjoy soothing, drying air on chest and painful, blinding light directly in eyes.
5.- click foot-switch button once again to turn power off.

fischli/weiss- Der Lauf der Dinge (the way things go)

yeah... i know it’s not new, but the video of this has been popping up at places i go too frequently to ignore. It’s definitely trying to tell me something. they were playing it at LM Projects here in LA like last month, but ever since going to see it it’s been haunting me.

if you haven’t seen this before, i think it’s worth a viewing. it’s a great piece by swiss art duo fischli/weiss from 1987 (i think). anyway, it’s a fantastic rube goldberg machine, with crazy chemical reactions triggering a lot of the action. at moments during the process, the whole thing seems so haphazard and janky that it’s hard to imagine it is actually gonna work! That’s my favorite part.

this is the best youtube version of it i could find, but i guess i really didn’t look very long or hard. It’s available on dvd, and totally worth it!

free flyer project- part II

yeah ha ha! another flyer from my "free flyer project".
i have made some new ones recently, just wanna go retrospect one more time. plus, ruining the surprise would be unthinkable. uh fuck, i did rework this for the new locale, so...

chomells?

here's an interesting artifact that i discovered across the street from my house in bloomington earlier this year. the inability to spell the word "homeless" is terrifying! of course this reading of the text is based purely on my assumption that the one who penned this was trying to spell "homeless". "chomells" or "homells" could in fact be the name of the creator, or of another person.
no, fuck it, they were trying to spell "homeless".
"chomells" still hangs proudly in our new home.
god bless.
