For my three into one project, I've been trying to come up with new
measurement or a representation of a measurement that would never work, based on
my initial objects, which I've cast (hand boiler), used to made a kinetic sculpture
(measuring tapes) and used to made a wooden sculpture (different types of rulers).
I found a reference to this exhibition, hopefully it'll help me find my way:
Institute for Objective Measurement: with artists EA Byrne, Will Cruickshank, & Nina Wakeford

Mark Dion's biography on Art:21
Tar and Feathers and Concrete Jungle I
'With some of my work, you can sense that it has a pretty dark tone. As much as
I’m engaged in a discourse that is ecological, I’m not one of those artists who is spending
a lot of time imagining a better ecological future. I’m more the kind of artist who is
holding up a mirror to the present and to the kinds of problems that we have right now.
As much as I would like to have a more utopian sensibility, my sensibility tends to the
dystopian, to the dark side.'
- Mark Dion
Georges Rousse paints designs in spaces so that the viewer can
only see the intended outcome from one particular spot.
Bicarbonate of soda and vinegar seem so boring now. I love the dry delivery of the first video.
