Polyethylene not wax



We found this artist Roxy Paine who creates art-making machines. One of them makes big piles of a red substance which looks like wax at first sight, but apparently it's polyethylene plastic.  It reminded me of Bryan's recent prototype.

  1. Thanks for sharing! What an interesting artist. He has many bio-related pieces (fungi and trees especially), so Bryan, you might find that relevant too.

    I found this one particularly interesting: http://roxypaine.com/Unexplained-Object-2005 partially because it's a bit offbeat and eerie in a way, partially because it reminds me a bit of the excerpt from Le Petit Prince http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2011/02/dzn_Le-Petit-Prince-Nursery-School-by-Carlos-Barba-211.gif
