A volcano in your living room

The Other Volcano

“The Other Volcano aims to build a series of semi-domesticated volcanoes, to be housed for a couple of weeks in the living spaces of volunteers. These designed supra-natural objects will be large, reaching almost to the ceiling, imposing, and extremely inconvenient – erupting dust and gloop into the living rooms of volunteers seemingly at random”.

Crazy project by french designer  Nelly Ben Hayoun. The volcano is currently on show in the windows of the Wellcome Trust in London.

Ok, it’s a bit expensive, but inside you’ll find: all 13 original scores Danny Elfman has composed for Tim Burton, unreleased music, a bonus DVD, a skeleton key flash drive with all the musical goods in MP3 format, a 250+ page book, and exclusive artwork by Burton, all packaged in a working zoetrope box.
Oh, and it’ a limited edition of 1000!
I’m breaking my piggybank now…
