What on sweet Earth is that contraption you´re wearing?

it's a device designed to combat the alienation of modern life by creating the illusion of smaller spaces within everyday circumstances. it's a cure for agoraphobia. it fights artificiality with artificiality.

its also some reading glasses that i duct taped to cookie tins and spray painted :)

Fantastic! How does it work?

the glasses bring things that are close to you closer and makes things further away more indistinguishable. this tends to focus the attention of the wearer on closer objects.
the tin headphones generally reduce the range of hearing, and create their own white noise.

Um, I'm dying to know: what inspired the creation of this useful yet headpiece?

a building.

i laugh when i look at it every day.
and wearing it is constant amusement and inspiration.

I'd always wondered about the headpiece contraption, and somehow never saw the discussion before. Neat!

FUCK YEAH! +2
