Summary[edit]

Description

The good doctors at Pataphysical Studios took a break from their madcap adventures to create hundreds of ‘Pataphysical Talismans -- to thank all the folks who worked on the ‘Pataphysical Slot Machine or contribute to our creative network.

These talismans are in the shape of a question mark, and inspired by the Nepali number "1", which represents the unity of all things. This symbol appears below the Buddha’s all-seeing eyes in stupa temples throughout Nepal.

The Pataphysical Talismans can be worn as a necklace or broach, used as ornaments for your home -- or your art. This design was created by Freddy Hahne (a.k.. Dr. Really) and manufactured by Fabrice Florin (a.k.a. Dr. Fabio), using Tam High School's laser printer and wood contributed by Howard Rheingold (a.k.a. Dr. Rindbrain). For our first run, we printed out 300 of these talismans on 1/8” maple plywood.

We then gathered at Pataphysical Studios to art up the talismans on a late fall afternoon. We painted them and decorated them with jewels, from Dr. Canard’s vast collection of ornaments. Each time we completed a talisman, we hit a gong and claimed ‘By the power of the duck!’, to infuse them with special energy for the people we will give them to.

It was a great way to relax and make art together, on our first day back after an intense month-long exhibit at the Mill Valley Library in October.

Visitors to this unique art installation seemed to really enjoy the experience, and we received great feedback about the fun and educational events we hosted along with the exhibit.
