Hang on, it gets better

The discovery of an image of boys climbing the rope in gym class brought back some early trauma for me.

This piece takes a look at the sort of world in which such an activity could be considered relevant in preparation for adult life.

Every element was found — scrap yards, second-hand stores, dumpsters — then cleaned, stripped, sorted and rebuilt. Found aluminum is TIG-welded and sanded seamless; nothing is cast. The electronics are salvaged from consumer devices, repaired and rewired so the piece does something when you touch it.
