Pin Art is one of those products that anyone conscious during the 80s and early 90s will be very familiar with. Simply pressing an object (or appendage) into the multitude of blunt pins will create a 3D sculpture with all the subtleties of the contours faithfully captured. The impression remains intact as long as the device is not disturbed, but the peculiar sensation of the pins, accompanied by the faint, irregular sounds as they move, make this as much a fiddle toy as desktop ‘art’.
