ON SELF-ASSEMBLING FURNITURE

COME TOGETHER NOW

If you're like me and try to avoid buying furniture from catalogs listings that say "some assembly required", technology may come to our rescue.  NewScientist.com has an interesting piece on the "self-assembling" chair:

"It's an art installation and built by Canadian artists Max Dean and Matt Donovan, and that the chair has yet to make its first "public appearance"."

As this site indicates, the artists hope to complete the project later this summer.

There's even a short video to see the thing in action.  It's almost as cool as watching the Terminator pulling himself together after losing some pieces.

Wireless, self-assembling, robotic furniture.  Now that's a clever way to get geeks interested in art, don't you think?
