The Learning Studio hosted a workshop organized by Michael Swaine and Amy Franceschini, in which 12 local artists were invited to make tools that expand our natural perceptual limitations.
Here's a portion of my hammer rack, a tool shelf, and my chisel rack (I had a pile of plywood and cement board leaned up against the bench at the time - that's those grey rectangles at the bottom).
Yeah, that's me, but this little baby is going to make my life much easier. Its range is 30 meters, and it's accurate to 1.5mm (yeah, it works in inches & feet as well, so that's a range of 98.5 feet, accurate to .05 inches). It allows you to add consecutive measurements as well as calculate area and volume. It'll also do height with a little help from Pythagorus when you measure the ground side of the triangle and the hypotenuse. Oh, and with a touch of a button, the measuring plane is either the front or the back of the unit, depending on what's best for the application. One other cool tidbit is that you can approach or retreat from your measuring point, and it self adjusts.
Tape measure? What's a tape measure?
Cool stuff for dorks.

This was probably the most popular booth at ICFF this year. 44 eighth grade students from The School at Columbia University were asked to design the classroom of the future. Merging math, science, and art, they reimagined their everyday school objects. Designed for kids by kids.

The "cocktail" is maraschino cherry juice diluted with water. The image is slightly cropped, but otherwise SOOC.
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

I dug this out of the back of a kitchen drawer. Now I remember why I quit using it, the finish is pitted and peeling off. Probably 20 years is all you can expect from an inexpensive kitchen tool.

Biennalist is an Art Format by Thierry Geoffroy / Colonel debating with artistic tools on Biennales and other cultural managed events . Often those events promote them selves with thematics and press releases faking their aim . Biennalist take the thematics of the Biennales very seriously , and test their pertinance . Artists have questioned for decade the canvas , the pigment , the museum ... since 1989 we question the Biennales .Often Biennalist converge with Emergency Room providing a burning content that cannot wait ( today before it is too late )

You'll need small and medium flat screwdrivers, needle-nose locking pliers (generically known as "Vice-Grips", though I used Craftsman this time), a second pair of pliers (preferably needle-nose), a Phillips screwdriver, a fairly heavy pair of wire cutters (yes, you can use a Dremel motor tool with a cut-off wheel if you have one), and a old butter knife.
Because spring steel can be brittle (especially 40-year old spring steel!), you probably should wear safety glasses. Gloves, too, if you are accident-prone.
The replacement spring will be made from a length of generic repair spring, available from most hardware and home improvement stores. Seems like Lowes has a different brand and selection every time I go. I use springs about half an inch in diameter made from ~1mm wire. The original spring has a diameter between 5/8" and 3/4", but it seems like all the repair springs that size range are MUCH thicker wire. Five dollars will get you enough material for at least a dozen hip springs.
