The simplicity of your approach is a perfect example of what improvised art is all about.

That would be an interesting part of the process to document.

I had a chance to see Leonard Cohen in Chicago, 2009.
It was awesome. Most everyone there was older, in their 50′s. I am 30 but look like I am 21 and all these people kept asking me “what was I doing there”….it was enjoyable.

I really like that quote from Ranier Maria Rilke as well.

Haven’t you seen the movie with Ted Danson? I’m from Sunderland, so not a southerner so don’t worry that there has been some southern bias :) . The fact is I wanted to find things that were recognisable to people in this and other countries that I could do interestingly in Jaffa Cakes. You can’t be too subtle with tiny, crumbly cakes. Most world wide famous things are found in the south unfortunately due to history. A northern one I tried was the Angel of the north but it was a bit dull in Jaffa Cake form. If you (or anyone out there) have examples of more northern things I could have done that are widely recognisable ‘and’ an interesting way to make from Jaffa Cakes please get back to me and add to my site some ideas. It’s all good.

Just sayin’.

The group Wefab.it are in charge of creating a computer model of the Duomo which will be fed into the machine to make at the start. This is about making more so than designing. The challenge is to create a model within the time limit.

Will the printer be allowed to predesign the 3D virtual model? Or will that be included in the time?
