Hand


Watch some short videos of people doing things by hand. I assume it's supposed to be a testament to handcrafted, artisanal, traditional products, though I don't know what exactly it has to do with Gucci.

The videos are very quiet, and they have Japanese captions, so there's no getting caught up in the explanation. Just watch these people make things with their hands. It's relaxing, and some of them are quite beautiful.

Thanks to Colossal for the link.

Take a moment to read Jerry Saltz's essay on Zombie Formalism. No, not like cool, fun-to-watch zombies. The accompanying slide show is pretty damning.
