UNBOXING - a 12 h art hack, Jan 2014
12 hour performance (of making a work)
Sebastian Nordbeck and I, along with two other artists, were invited to take part in a 12 hour performance
based on the theme "unboxing" - (when people upload videos of when they unpack a new laptop or console on youtube).
The theme perfectly provided context, opportunity and reason for making a micro-chip sculpture we had found in a comic (in which the protagonist is a micro-chip artist).
The model. From the artist's studio
