Hyperlinks In Real Life: Technology Inspired Art

While not very practical, this idea makes for a really cool piece of art. This book was created by a German designer named Maria Fischer. It's titled "Thoughts on Dreams", and for her the lines of thread help to physically show "the confusion and fragileness of dreams".

 The arist sewed real thread into the book, using it to underline key terms which allowed readers to follow this thread to related content, much like a hyperlink on the Internet.

 As an artist, I think using technology as an inspiration is a neat idea. I continually use video games to inspire some aspects of my art, and I may start thinking about other technologies to delve into.

An article about this can be found on Gizmodo, and an article (in German) with more photos of the art piece can be found at Fubiz.
