Hum, this post is mostly for Chantal's information, but anyone may benefit from it.

Chantal wanted to use conductive paint on her canvases. As opposed to using lead+ paint which = danger & death, i found these options

I suggest this

because of price vs conductivity.

Silver paint would be also great but a tiny jar is 30$

peeling away the layers

This chair gaves me the «déclic » for my manifesto.

«Designed by Nendo for the XXIst Century Man exhibition curated by Issey Miyake, the cabbage chair is made out of the pleated paper that is produced in mass amounts during the process of making pleated fabric. This paper is usually abandoned as an unwanted by-product.

The cabbage chair is created by peeling away the layers of a roll of pleated paper one layer at a time. Resins are added during the original paper production process to add strength. Since the production process is so simple, the chair could be shipped as one compact roll for the user to cut open and peel back at home.»
