“patiently awaiting attention at the repair centre…”
As previously revealed last week, the first round of Cris Rose‘s Personal Trimensional Viewer’s, the Turquiose Rotund Mk2, are set to land in his store tonight (May 21st). Using the miniature Sprog platform “Bits and Bytes”, Rose has created intricate hand cast mini-dioramas that house the expertly painted figures in an acrylic dome. Priced at $65 plus shipping (the same as a Sprog), the turquoise beauties have been limited to just 5 pieces. Head over to the store at 6pm (London time) sharp, because these little fellas wont be around for long! Expect more limited runs of 3 or 5 in the near future…
Backstory//
“Not long after the phone, television and internet services merged, a single Holographic system, the Trimensional Reception, Interaction and Broadcast Endevour became the universal method of communication. Whether it was to chat with your Gran or watch the latest sports event on the other side of the world, Trimensional was the only way to do it. Being such a mouthful, most referred to it as TRIBE and most devices, as Trimensional Viewers, or TVs for short.
The Personal Trimensional Viewer was an extension of TRIBE, a small encapsulated unit that would sit on your desk and show you a live, photo realistic, 3D Hologram of a chosen loved one, 24 hours a day. It didn’t matter where they were or what they were doing, they’d be doing it in the little glass dome next to your mug of coffee.
The concept was purely innocent and technically perfect… but it soon became apparent that there was a serious social flaw in it – namely every time your mother went to the toilet or had a shower… It was a disaster. One of the fastest selling products in history became one of the fastest failures – no one wanted them and they were returned in their tens of thousands.”
Personal Trimentional Viewer (ThreeA Bertie one-offs)
Coinciding with the release of the Turquiose Rotund Mk2’s, Cris Rose will also be dropping two one-off Personal Trimentoinal Viewer custom Berties! Priced at $90 each, the run has been limited to just two one-off designs that will never be repeated again. Expect these in the store alongside the Turquiose Rotund Mk2’s at 6pm (London time) tonight…
