DON'T GET FLEECED - KNIT YOUR OWN COMPUTER


Are you sick and tired of your old PC? Is your monitor boring and dull? Does your operating system drive you nuts? Don't you long for an eco-friendly computer? Then take a look at this cuddly, colorful, contemporary system made from the most natural recycled material in the world - wool!

Once upon a time there was an artist called Ben Kruisdijk, who said, "I like to make dream objects that don't have to obey the laws of physics." And once upon a time there was another artist called Conny Kuilboer, who said, "the materials I use most are blankets because they protect and give warmth, but are really oppressive, irritating and a fire hazard." Since they started collaborating twelve months ago, Ben and Conny have created the most amazing and amusing expos and exhibited them all over the world - most recently in South Korea. And now they have chosen CollectValue as a permanent home to display their work.


And before you ask, the delivery system for their knitted computer platform is a zero-emission stuffed donkey. Of course it is. You can feed it a virtual carrot at their brilliant online exhibition called When Things Get Too Big. Go on, you know you want to.
