PIN-UP ART

If you've ever gone to the St. Paul Science Museum's merchandise shop, or to a toy store that features unique games, then you probably have seen the small plastic boxes that contain hundreds of pins. On one side you can press your hand or other object, and on the opposite side the pins push out to form a pattern of the object. Thus the term pin-up art.

Recently a designer in London took the concept to a whole new level creating a life-size pin-up sculpture that people could press against to create full size images of themselves in various positions. The one in the middle is especially interesting since it appears the creator had to jump against the sculpture and get airborne to create it.
