🎉 Ah, the age-old tale of swapping a 3D printer for a relic from the past because everyone needs a lesson in technological futility 🤦‍♂️. Marvel at the sheer #absurdity of resurrecting a museum piece through a convoluted web of techno-wizardry that screams, "I have too much time on my hands!" 😂🔌.

printervention: the backstory

I was so impressed visiting the Zoological museum in my city for the first time. Working on some pieces based on tons of pictures I took there. Here are a couple of finished ones

‘State of the art…’

At the time an absolutely modern, fresh and unconventional design, now a quirky museum piece.

I'm starting to think that maybe 3-5 essays for #MuseumPiece will be halfway decent and worth anybody's time to read (if I'm very lucky). On the one hand, it makes me feel horribly selfconscious about putting crappy work into the world. On the other, I'm hoping it'll help refine my sense of what's good and what sucks more quickly than letting the pieces sit unread. And if nothing else, posting it all keeps me accountable.
