Olafur Eliassons House
Artist Olafur Eliasson designed a laser cut rendering of his own house for a one of a kind book commisioned by the Museum of Modern Art in NYC. 'Your House' demonstates how new technologies make it possible to rethink our daily products and breaks boundaries by bringing paper making, paper cutting, laser technology and architecture together in a single book made from 454 individual pages.




I cant remember how I came across this piece on http://cubeme.com/blog/2007/07/24/your-house-laser-cut-art-book-by-olafur-eliasson/ but I thought the idea of mixing all the diffferent art/design forms with new technologies to 'rethink our daily products and break boundaries' was a very interesting concept.

Lucy makes books that challenge the traditional form and uses everyday products within her work in unconventinal ways, creating a narrative for them.
