The product of artist Ben Fino-Radin, “Hyperlink” is a four-piece series of needlepoint yarn sculptures that feature the ever-prominent desktop cursor. These are huge works of art too, meaning that Ben most likely spent hours looking at a pixelated hand in Photoshop for hours on end. It’s from 2006 but old things can be good too, you know.
Needlepoint is usually an art form only associated with rocking chair sitting grannies. Isn’t it time for a change? This DS case was made by needlepoint, and frankly, I just couldn’t see my grandmother making something like this. Then again, my grandmother hasn’t reached the needlepoint stage in her life yet.
It’s actually pretty cool because the needlepoint gives it a pixel-like appearance, so it works out for the whole gaming case. Next Christmas, ask your granny to knit you one of these. She’ll be thrilled you’re talking to her, even if she’s mortified of technology. — Andrew Dobrow
