Amazing. Sketch-A-Move is a concept for a toy car that allows you to explore the unique relationships between small surface doodles and actual physical movements. If you draw a circle on the top of the toy car, it will move in a circle. If you draw a complicated spiral, the car will move in a spiral.
This video is a low-tech experience prototype made to communicate the idea. In collaboration with Louise Klinker.

Coffin Couches. Think Green
Welcome to Coffin Couches
We at Coffin Couches have the mindset of
thinking “Green” and we know it is different
but we strongly believe in recycling. Our niche
happens to be 18 gauge steel coffins which we
collected from local funeral homes primarily in
Southern California. It is a health and safety law that
funeral homes cannot resell used coffins to the general
public. We approached funeral directors with the attitude
of recycling. These coffins are not used for burial due to
slight cosmetic inconsistencies. They are reconfigured and
modified resulting in a finished product - a unique one a kind
coffin couch. If you notice (although it may be too small) the six
cast iron heavy duty legs are embossed with the universal biohazard
insignia. The reason we utilize this sign is because safety is our utmost
concern. If you are not aware, once a human body is placed in a coffin
it is considered biohazard tissue. The legs have the embossed insignia for
precautionary reasons in the event body fluids are exchanged on these coffins.
Perhaps you would feel safe knowing that you are in designated biohazard scene!
Ha!!
