(Lunchtime atop a Skyscraper was taken by Charles Ebbets back in 1932.)
I came across it in a lecture a few weeks back, googled it... and I came up with this... :)

It's called Dans La Lune.
Here's a little extract about the name of installation from Rice Gallery.
Kirsten Hassenfeld on Dans la Lune:
Some friends were visiting from France, and one described speaking with her doctor about a medication. She had inquired if it would make her "dans la lune." When I asked her what that meant, she said, "dopey, drugged." Later I looked up the French idiom and found that it referenced daydreaming. "Il est dans la lune" can be translated as "He’s got his head in the clouds," or "He’s on another planet." Dans la Lune is a perfect title because in my work I try to create an imaginary place that relates to our longings for a better, grander existence.

Un mois plus tard...
One month later...
I've neglected this space for a while now. Time to fill it up with some musings.
For the last few days I may as well have had my gluteus maximus stuck to my spinny *IKEA desk chair.
I've been glued to it for hours on end working on my project for uni. We had to use Rhino and I think I actually strained my right hand/arm muscle from excessive clicking. Pleased to say that I've finished the digitising part and excessive clicking should be a thing of the past...for now.
It might sound a tad confuzzling, you might not even understand what I'll be saying in the next few lines, perhaps you will...
but here I go trying to tell you about this project called BODYSPACE.
The brief is to create a complex paper form that will include a light source to act like a lantern and to be worn somewhere on the body. The design is inspired by a natural process (and to top it off there is some sort of a 'rule' that governs the design).
Soak that in for a bit.
Don't get it?
They do say, pictures tell a thousand words.
Voilà, mon prototype..or rather parts of it.
Just a little 'fun-fact': as I was typing IKEA I made sure to capitalise every letter.
Here's my reasoning, apart from the fact that its just a great great great place to shop there's also a more 'grammatical' side to it.
Here comes the 'Did you know?' part.
IKEA is actually an acronym that is made up of the initials Ingvar Kamprad (the founder of IKEA) plus the letters of Elmtaryd and Agunnaryd (the farm and village where he grew up).
So....
Ingvar + Kamprad + Elmtaryd + Agunnaryd = IKEA!
Until next time! À la prochaine!
