KNITTED VIDEO!?!?!?!!!

[avad]

Holy cow, This is the coolest, most inspiring thing I've seen in ages!
"Michel Gondry and Lauri Faggioni have done a video for Steriogram entirely out of
yarn - knitted shapes and felt too. Apparently it was inspired by a picture of Johnny
Rotten wearing a sweater knitted by his mother."

I haven't been this blown away since Liza Lou- who ROCKSMYWORLD completely with her beaded full-sized kitchen, backyard and trailer. If you've never seen, here's an article and a couple of pics:
beading the world (I can totally relate- in grad school, they were telling me I should move away from the nails.I left too.)

But nothing can compare to seeing in person the details of the creative madness. I love love love this sort of thing. duh.;)

The beaded kitchen is awesome!

but even having said that
I quote:

"Kitchen" took five years to complete and Lou now suffers from acute tendonitis.

OUch! is it worth it?
i know that all art has the unspoken message that it is the sacrifice of ones life for a thing of beauty, couldn't more beauty be found in making smaller projects and then pleasing yourself by helping others?
I know i'm treading over deep water and rip currents with that statement in the art community, as many feel it's helping one "express themself" or create joy in those who see it. Damned if you do, damned if you don't i guess, everything is essentially paradox.

Do what comes if it makes you feel good.
