Abstractor

Posted on January 10, 2007 Under Life

From the creator of the Bubble Project, Ji Lee, comes to us a new and novel way to make art out of your idiot box (television): the Abstractor. The instructions of this home-made art project are best described by Ji’s artful video, but I can tell you the basics. You can use matte black board or aluminum foil. You’ll need only duct tape, a measuring tape, a pencil, and a utility knife. Measure the size of your screen. Cut two pieces of board so that the the sum of them covers your screen (but for a thin slit in the middle). Duct tape to frame of Television. Turn on The O’Reilly Factor. Press mute. Prepare to be wowed– the show will have never looked so good. Kudos to Ji Lee for concocting a cheap and easy way to make art out of an otherwise overrated household appliance. He’ll also show you how to make an Abstractor out of a video billboard on the street if you want.
