Hydrangea / Shuzo Fujimoto / 30 units
The design was by Shuzo Fujimoto, but a few artists had modified it into making it into a modular piece. For the assembly, Michal Kosmulski created a tutorial to make it in to a modular piece. Its a really nice to see it as a modular piece but it was really time consuming to make so i’d probably suggest just making the cube instead of just dying to make a 30 piece unit (unless you’re into that sort of thing).

Swearing Campaign by Chiara Broggi
“Due to an experiment done in 2009 at Keele University, it’s been found that swearing helps people better tolerate pain by provoking an emotional response to “stress-indulged” analgesia. Hence my decision to turn the most used swear words, into painkillers.”
The Annals of the Parrigues (warning! PDF!) is a (mostly) procedurally generated guidebook to a fictional pseudo-English kingdom, along with a making-of commentary on the process of generation. There are also some portions of the code (though I’m not releasing the whole source at this point, and indeed it wouldn’t really be meaningful to do so, as you’ll see if you look at the thing). It’s not an interactive piece of fiction at all, though it was built with various tools including Inform. Rather, it’s a story I wrote with the machine. If you want to know where to find the biggest library in the kingdom, what type of meal to avoid at the Fenugreek and Sponge, or why people keep trying to assassinate the Duchess of Inglefunt, this one’s for you.
From Emily Short’s post on the topic. I love this piece, especially the making of.
Here are some of the things that were written in previous editions that
I chose to keep as souvenirs of the process.
Once we were served hound in a nut crust; and goat in a nut crust is
not without its merits. The mare in a nut crust was less satisfactory.
I consider this to be the first joke told by my coauthor…Here, possibly, is its second joke:
The town is best known as the tomb of Alianor Espec II, an orphan who came to the town fleeing charges of presentation of obscene performance in her hometown. There is a very fine volume that recounts the entire affair, with hand-drawn illustrations.
must a sport be entertaining to watch?
