we wanted to do something as far from posterdom as we could. So I laser engraved a design by Jonathan Mikulak on 350 sheets of acryllic. The art engraved on the 6” x 6”, 1/8” thick acrylic was scaled about 0.05% each time. Every piece is unique and numbered. It took 16 minutes for the first and largest engraving, and about 6 minutes for the last, smallest, one. For about 60 hours of total engraving time, not including removing, replacing, and cleaning the individual posters.
There’s math behind those numbers, but I’m not a technical boy.
I think people liked the poster, but I don’t think they understood it. That’s mostly my fault. Every poster had an attached placard with a photograph of it all together, but I wasn’t able to explain the idea to every concert-goer in person, though I did write a little bit of poetry on the back.
It’s only fair that I don’t post an image of an individual poster here. If you were at the show you got to see the singletons, if you’re here, you get to see the obelisk.
