This is how they did it back in the good ol' days when a generator had to be moved from one spot to another. Since it is on a sled - I am assuming that it was last used during the winter months. I found this gem up in the 40 mile country in Alaska. I thought that some of my Flickr friends might get a kick out of it's size. These days a 2000 watt generator is easily lifted and transported anywhere. Many people use them for camping out, or for emergency situations. It sure beats hooking up the horses, then hooking up to a sled, in order to haul power out to a remote site - like they had to do during the gold rush days.
The Mixed Nuts exhibit took place in May 2008 in Australia. The project involved interpreting a stuffed nut pattern that was shared with all participating artists including Lori Joy Smith, Sandra Monat, Jess Hutchinson, Elsita, and Kirsty Campion (the curator), among others. You can see all of the finished products at Kirsty's blog.
Our contribution (which we've been anxious to share photos of since sending it out in March) was conceived and finished while we were in Buenos Aires for a few months. Starting with the basic nut shape, our children drew birds, beetles, faces, fish, etc. One of the drawings depicted a monster that swallowed all sorts of objects and thus turned our attention to the inside of the nut. At the time, Enzo was also making many Katamari Damacy inspired drawings, so we combined the idea from those drawings of having trees growing on spheres and settled on creating an embedded landscape which could be made portable by closing up and sealing it with a zipper. With limited recycled materials we put together a series of small islands, three of them forested with 40 hand stitched miniature trees and one of them barren rock with two small houses. Our full set of images can be found in this set. Above is a video slideshow (also here) we put together in which Enzo demonstrates how to open and close the nut.
Update September 2008: After being on the road for a year, we're back in Southern California. We have many projects in the works including a new installation in San Diego, a group show in New York, original softie characters, and costumes for this year's Halloween. Bear with us as we are still gathering materials in our new studio. We'll be sharing more of our projects as often as we can. If you are interested in any of our available items, don't hesitate to ask and we'll send you more information about them.

After 7 days of continuous rain, this is the best outfit I can recommend for the would-be wandering designer.
A heavy-duty ziplock bag not only
keeps moisture out, but with a silica gel beads packet keeps my Moleskine reporter dry so pages don't stick together. The bag folds conveniently after you squeeze the air out and can be tucked into your pants pocket or carried like a purse or held like a furoshiki bag. A Ricoh GRD can be shoved in additional and would still fit well.
Inside are:
1. a see-through ruler
2.Muji pens in my indispensable Asian red and black inks
3. my Chinese seal in a portable plastic case with ink well. $15 custom made in Mongkok or $200 in Tokyo, take your choice but the one in Japan includes the design work and carving of an elderly craftsman on stone. I can design my own logos so I paid the $15.
4. Moleskine Reporter notebook with perforated pages.
5. Traditional soft jelly candies from HK. These candies were a part of my childhood, decades ago. The company now only makes melon and orange flavors but during my entire childhood and adolescence the flavors were banana and coconut which came in a pink box with the soft candies two levels deep and wrapping papers inside to keep them fresh. The banana candies had the most fragrant smell, as strong as sniffing glue.
Would someone please, please post a photo of a box of these candies?

Created with fd's Flickr Toys.
This was inspired by the wickedly sarcastic "despair" series ( www.despair.com ) which is, itself, inspired by the famous Motivation posters.

Okay, before anyone freaks out, please don’t judge me too hard.
This dolly abomination absolutely saved my grade and my sanity.
Back in 200? (2007-2008?) I was pursuing a bachaelors degree in art at a local university. I was in an upper division Art History class with a professor notorious for high expectations and harsh grading. Like any other “400 level” class there was a very large research paper project that was going to be a major part of our grade in the class. Something like a thirty page research paper.
Now at the time my personal life was rocky, I was close to graduating but gradually taking fewer and fewer classes, and I was working more full-time hours at my retail job. (Burnout. In hindsight I was burning out.)
I didn’t realize I was burning out but I knew, I just KNEW that I didn’t have thirty pages of words inside of me to put on a page. Even though I really enjoyed the class and love the topic: History of Surrealism, I knew I didn’t have thirty pages in me so I had to come up with a creative solution. I needed a muse.
In lieu of writing a thirty page paper, I created this Portable Muse.
I turned in this Muse (and a hand bound book of surrealist art games we had learned about in the class. I had recreated the games and wrote little explanations of them.) I got a really good grade and passed the class.
(I did end up dropping out of school for real and never finished my degree. Oops.)
The muse herself is a Britney Spears head on a Ocean Toys Pamela Love torso mounted on an imitation squirrel paintbrush. She comes in her own labeled tin (a repurposed Surf Benders tin.)
(I have the original head for this torso and had been looking for poor Pamela’s body for a while… then I remembered what I had done to her and found this old Portable Muse in my studio.)
A portable computer full scale model I designed and built at industrial design school in the 1980's.
We were given sizes of components - a crt video sceen, 2 floppy drives, a printer, keyboard, the "guts" etc.
Computers were not very portable then - the laptop did not exist, or was not commercially available yet I don't think.
Looking at this now it looks like a prop from "star wars" !
There was a computer company called Hyperion that had a hot new product that was even clunkier than this photo of it as I remember (maybe this is a slightly later version of the one I remember): www.flickr.com/photos/treyerice/5031837382/in/photolist-f...
And Commodore had one a few years later too: www.flickr.com/photos/acb/4715303771/in/photolist-8bFawT-...
Some days you just need a hug and some of those days you have to improvise with whatever works. Cheers to warm blankets and horror flicks to get us through.

A large number of such mobile shops are in business in Dhaka city. They specialize in selling products to housewives in desperate need of vegetables for cooking,
These shop owners pull their cart from door to door and advertise with bare yet loud screams.

The Gravitron (later marketed as the Starship 2000, Starship 3000, Starship 4000, and Alien Abduction) is an amusement ride, most commonly found as a portable ride at fairs and carnivals. The Gravitron first appeared at Morey's Piers in 1983 and quickly became a fixture at amusement parks in many countries. It is a modification of an earlier ride called the Rotor. The ride was originally designed and manufactured by Wisdom Industries, though several examples of the Gravitron were produced under license by ARM in the UK and Ferrari in Australia.
The ride is completely enclosed, with 48 padded panels lining the inside wall. Riders lean against these panels, which are angled back. As the ride rotates, centrifugal force is exerted against the pads by the rider, removing the rider from the floor, due to the slant. The ride can reach a maximum speed of 24 rpm in less than 20 seconds, due to the 33 kW 3-phase motor. At this speed, the riders are experiencing centrifugal force equivalent to three times the force of gravity.
The ride operator is located in the center of the ride. Part of the operator's duty is to control lighting and music in addition to the ride itself. Some variants include closed-circuit television cameras, allowing waiting riders and passersby to observe the ride in action.
There are a few versions of this ride that do not have a ceiling (i.e. the top canvas is not installed).
The entire ride racks on a single 50-foot trailer for transport. The ride can be assembled in less than six hours, and packed up in three.
On August 20, 1991, a Gravitron spun itself apart at the Missouri State Fair, injuring seven children. The accident led to a class-action lawsuit against Murphy Enterprises, the operator of the ride, and Wisdom Manufacturing, resulting in modifications to the rides and stricter safety standards.
In April 2004, an accident occurred at the Dade County Youth Fair in Miami, Florida when a panel came off and threw a girl out of the ride. As a result, DCYF strengthened their safety guidelines and removed the ride from the park.
On September 8, 2007, a teenage boy was injured while riding a Gravitron amusement ride at the Spokane County Interstate Fair in Spokane, Washington. The boy hit his head on a metal part of the ride, and needed two staples in his scalp to close the wound. Witnesses reported that the boy ignored safety warnings and climbed the walls of the ride while it was in motion. State investigators determined that the ride was safe and that the accident was the result of the victim's behavior.
