Wonderful idea! <br />I remember reading a story a long time ago about a house that would react to the psychology of its inhabitants by changing shape, and colour of furniture and rooms. And that's a little like that. Beautiful work!<br />& good luck with the show! Am i drawing the right conclusion that she is smiling – and the house smiles back?!

Bingo with the 'dymaxion car' reference. All 3 are hybrids of vehicles and products: TST_003 = Dualit + Airstream; RDO_002 = Bush TR82 + GM Futurliner and as you point out, MXR_011 = KitchenAid Mixer + Dymaxion Car. We are playing with futurism as a 'retro' phenomenon. The styling and colour palette is based on the 1950s RayGun Gothic - or as we like to call it SodaPop Chic! Thanks Michael.

It reminds my of Buckminster Fuller's 'dymaxion car' that could also turn on the spot (though without a tethering cable ;) )<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhSonPwM8zE Cool design, so slick.

I like that it's such a multidisciplinary investigation of the 'digital' involving design, art and architecture. Just ordered a copy for the library here. Looks great, John.
