tyler held: cross-culture
first image 'cross-culture' designer tyler held re-purposes the discarded. responding to the waste and urgency of contemporary times, he finds value in re-working manufactured objects. as a society, we are trained to believe that it is easier to replace something than it is to repair it. re-working and 'repairing' the industrial object by hand is the way held customizes an otherwise generic and ubiquitous thing. what we desire in a repair is the illusion that nothing ever happened. but, the cost of the illusion conceals the process of the repair - the evidence of interaction. the restored object is an artifact of collaboration between the industry and the individual.Magic Mushroom Milkshake Island
Out in a dirty surfer bar in Bali earlier this year, a guy called Big D—an ex-convict with a huge, South Carolina-themed tattoo—told my friends and I about Gili Trawangan, a tiny, idyllic island where magic mushroom milkshakes are sold on the side of the road like it's no big deal. Aware of the fact that ex-cons in dirty Balinese bars usually have the best party hook-ups, it seemed wise to take a day trip to Trawangan. The island is an early morning, two hour boat ride from mainland Bali. We could have taken the 20 minute flight to Lombok, the neighboring island, and gotten a water taxi from there, but a similar plane flying the same journey had crashed a week earlier and we're all mega pussies. Our boat was called the Rizky Bone, which, coincidentally, is what I was going to call the nu-metal band I started with a rockabilly kid when I was 12.
