epic craft supply find: limited edition 3mm washi tape by mt.
they are just under 1/8” wide and extremely delicate, but oh so very handy. this means no more cutting tape strips1 in half!
this is an extremely difficult and frustrating task, i would not recommend it. it also requires a bottle of goo gone and/or coated scissors. ↩
There is no adequate word in English to capture this complex entanglement of humans and technology. The German word Technik comes closest: It means not just technology, but the mastery of the methods and processes that shape and steer it. In today’s emerging world, Technik can be something of a broad index of preparedness for the future Hybrid Age. It rejoins the scientific and mechanical dimensions of technology with a necessary concern for its effect on humans and society. So while today we talk about promoting democracy, tomorrow we will realize we should be promoting good Technik.
i really love revisiting old things…
this weekend i played with some old images from relations, ships & wrecks (maps of time + sex) and added some new posts. also tweaked the map key, the tumblr theme, added proper labels to the final maps and made this poster-ish thing1 pictured above. heck, i might even make some more maps.
➊ the maps: complete set of six labeled + presented in pairs
➋ the gallery: paper fanciness and my graduation night
➌ the process: the final steps stressful printing + mounting

this was extra fun because i wasn’t trying to make anything specific, just pushin’ pixels around. ↩
made these a long time ago and still can’t decide what to do with ‘em. current status is that they may end up as jewelry.
there was a very brief period1 where i was adept at stabbing felt with a needle until it became a fluffy, cute thing. sadly, it has passed. at least i got these out of it :)
these are specifically brought on by the excitement of using new things to make new kinds of things. however, they only last as long as it takes me to find a new thing. ↩
shelf of important, fluffy, cute and gross things.
