Nadine Jarvis's "Carbon copies"... A little morbid, but a clever idea -

Pencils made from the carbon of human cremains. 240 pencils can be made from an average body of ash - a lifetime supply of pencils for those left behind. Each pencil is foil stamped with the name of the person. Only one pencil can be removed at a time, it is then sharpened back into the box causing the sharpenings to occupy the space of the used pencils. Over time the pencil box fills with sharpenings - a new ash, transforming it into an urn. The window acts as a timeline, showing you the amount of pencils left as time goes by.

This, my friends, is one of the most innovative (and cute) multimedia artist of our time - Videohuahua. He travels the world as apprentice & sidekick to video artist Fernando Llanos, performing with a variety 'onboard' projection & camera gear. I'm guessing we'll see some pretty edgy guerilla-art from the duo down the line. [via Create Digital Music]
