consider everything an experiment

March 14th, 2010

nothing is a mistake. there’s no win and no fail. there’s only make. the only rule is work. if you work it will lead to something. it’s the people who do all the work all the time who eventually catch on to things. don’t try to create and analyze at the same time. they’re different processes. be happy whenever you can manage it. enjoy yourself. it’s lighter than you think. always be around. come or go to everything. always go to classes. read. anything you can get your hands on. look at movies. carefully. often. save everything – it might come in handy later. there should be new rules next week.

HOUSE of HANDS Halloween Havanna – party setup

November 8th, 2009

graypants collaborated with House of Hands on the human hive themed art party at havana on halloween night.  we enlisted Jaws (our laser cutter) for a week of shredding to help cut 1500 cardboard rings to clad the walls of the hive.  we also hung a cluster of our HIVE shaped scraplights at the center of the space.  the party was a huge success for House of Hands and will likely lead to another bash at the same location on new year’s eve.  we’ll keep you posted!  photos by marius nita.

a huge thank you!!
