Lego Heads (from Flickr uploaded by ディマ) The lego minifig is 30 years old (watch the slideshow too). That makes me feel very very old.  That said, is does give me a reason to link to my latest Tshirt purchase ;)

Lego art

Posted at 1:19pm on Monday, June 9th, 2008

I have often thought (in my more up my own arse moments) of Lego as a means of democratising the production of art. A well known cultural device from which one can easily build an essentially limitless range of things allows for subversion and creation without formal training in the means of production. Outsider art gets a leg up, and all that.

Here are two examples – classic photos reproduced in Lego (including the iconic tennis playing girl) and patching up  historic walls with Lego.

This is very long, and very slow, but nevertheless…. It’s a car factory, made from LEGO Mindstorms, that makes LEGO cars. I am gobsmacked.

Hmmm… This never happened with my space lego

Maybe I stopped playing with lego too young. I didn’t realise it could be such a help around the home. I’m glad those guys don’t own any of these though. That would be too much.
