Giant public pinscreen thing reveals human truths
Posted on 31. May, 2011 by Jonathan Cherry in Streetflava
There’s one of these in the Metalmorphosis caravan at the Old Mac Daddy trailer park in Elgin that we played around with.
It’s a human-sized pin screen that, when you press your entire body into it – leaves a visible impression thanks to some of the 6,000 chromed capped aluminum pins being depressed. You probably had the toy version as a kid.
This installation from Clerkenwell Design Week is “Be a Pin Up!” from Lulu Guinness. Naturally when you give people an entire body length display platform that they can manipulate you’re going to get a few dodgy interpretations on the theme.
But hey, that’s what makes us all just one step away from Ron Jeremy.

I know that some might find it childish, but I think it is fun. If we can’t have fun, why even be here. Great find!
