Description My final project for Mixed Media class. But I didn't do it alone.
    -~Sagacious hooked me up with more floppy disks than I knew what to do with
    -$5 chair from second hand store
    - my dad modified the chair under my direction

...But I did spend a ton of time cutting and gluing everything. And the intellectual property is mine, bitches~

I don't want to say it's a sculpture, because it's a functional piece of furniture. Technically, it was done for the "installation" assignment, and I made up some pretentious shit about the viewer's/participant's memory being part of the art piece. Basically, you're supposed to sit and remember stuff

Can I pretend I'm a famous shitag critique and make up an absurd interpretation that is just redundant and then you gratify me with some subtle details about the perception of the viewer bein altered trapped in space time continuum while the medium of memory representing our collective uncounscious is to say " in stand by" and metaphorically speaking the hourglass of humanity's spirit yadayada or I just let you know I actually thing it looks pretty cool and then you flirt with me in a subtle but yet really suggestive way?
I had an expresso.

Woah--great concept! The execution looks great to me, too--as far as I can tell, all of the floppies are lined up neatly. That must've taken forever.

Thanks! It was pretty ridiculous to make. I mean, nothing was particularly difficult to do, but it took a long time.

Yeah, I finally got around to taking a picture of it. It took a crazy amount of disks!

Although...robot...movie? Movie references go over my head. Google to the rescue!
