talking about joshua ray stephens and jesus, it reminded me of this poster….

i kinda miss the aesthetics and fun of burodestruct which was first introduced by dan and andre…

Aside from being really expensive compared to just silkscreening something ourselves using Pratt’s stuff, this thing seems like it’s basically the same process without a frame.

If it works the way I think it does, this could have its uses when trying to silkscreen something that isn’t a flat surface, or just too curvy for a big screen since it isn’t held by a wooden frame. It says that once you expose the screen, you can reuse it again and again. It might even make sense to do this for small graphics like a company logo on a t-shirt or a mug or something. Or you can even silkscreen things on the go like “surprise tattoos” on people. Or very accurate but small stencil without having to cut bridges.

This only appeals to me because I’m lazy, and hopefully you all have better ideas.

Here is the website

By the way, I’m going to go ahead and get this because I can already think of a shit ton of things I want to try with it, so I’ll let you all know how it turns out.
-edit
I just placed my order.
I discovered that there are two products, Photo EZ, and Stencil EZ or something. You probably want Stencil EZ as the mesh sheets last up to 100 uses as opposed to Photo EZ’s 50. Also Photo EZ has to be stored in the refrigerator while Stencil EZ doesn’t apparently. It’s only $1 more expensive.

very cool.

In the spirit of Brand Next, the show invites guest not just to look, but to do something. In the Store for Tomorrow, you don’t pay to get; you give to get.

To make an exchange in the store, shoppers do not need to give money, instead they are required to commit to an action. Actions are based on things that people do to make the brand better. In the store, time, ideas, skills, effort and content are the currency. For example, Current TV needs more people to make films. In exchange for giving ideas and direction, shoppers get a filmmaker and camera hire to bring those ideas to life.

Anthropologist/Storyteller/Designer/Computer Scientist/Artists

“Brooklyn-based artist Jonathan Harris’ work celebrates the world’s diversity even as it illustrates the universal concerns of its occupants. His computer programs scour the Internet for unfiltered content, which his beautiful interfaces then organize to create coherence from the chaos.

His projects are both intensely personal (the “We Feel Fine” project, made with Sep Kanvar, which scans the world’s blogs to collect snapshots of the writers’ feelings) and entirely global (the new “Universe,” which turns current events into constellations of words). But their effect is the same — to show off a world that resonates with shared emotions, concerns, problems, triumphs and troubles.”

Fabrica, the Benetton research centre on communication, is primarily a meeting place. Meetings between people, of course, but also between artistic fields, languages, forms of expression, territories. Even the space, the architecture is witness to this. An old villa, restored and augmented by one of the most renowned contemporary architects, Tadao Ando, like a bridge thrown between the past and the future, with cement roots solidly anchored into the earth and columns that stretch into the emptiness to hold up the sky. Is Fabrica a school? A research center? A cultural reservoir? Fabrica is a little of each but in the end doesn’t allow itself to be rigidly cataloged and homogenized. This is also a sign of its uniqueness and innovation. So far, as a center for the production of culture, it has been actively involved with films awarded prizes at international festivals, books, CDs and DVDs published by renowned publishers, musical projects, exhibitions, objects and international campaigns for major institutions. Each year a group of young artists invited from all over the world, is dedicated, through photography, design, music,video, writing, interactive and visual communication, to uncover the future.
