Here’s a finished olololo arranged in its perspex case with a handful of closed books stacked behind it. It all went on display at the Modern Art Oxford shop yesterday and I’m really happy with it. A lovely end to what turned into a seven-month engagement with MAO.
There were a hair-raising few days last week as we realized a problem with registration in the laser cutter meant the books had all come back very slightly off. The ones on display look right but don’t function like clockwork as they should: my beloved vectors had been slightly adjusted at the printer’s so the pages weren’t a aligned and the pencil tended to get caught against the turning pages. But Book Works have been excellent, re-cutting the whole run as I write.
In the next couple of days I’ll try and post a very short video I made of one book in action, and also a longer video of the talk I gave last night at the launch.
But for now I’m away on HOLIDAY. I’ve already gone. I’m writing this on a train with hills around.
