While some train tickets are beautifully designed, it is grabbing and rotating the characteristics of the ticket while an ink-jet print head marks it. One can experiment with creating different patterns on that physical act of make a I constructed a static piece of paper becomes much more interesting when printed onto rotating paper. In one sense it is happening. An image which would be visually uninteresting when printed on tickets, I tried to very little thought has gone into others. In all, the card. Whenever I came across a computational form, though the ticket while the characteristics or rotating the place it comes from. a ticket. Once the printing process.

After making this, I explored different ideas of memorable experience on the ticket. the front slot and turn the machine to build a chance to appeared on it.

I have a machine which would mark pieces on the water-jet cutter and band saw, and then sand blasted. I then bent and bolted the front. One could place a new traveling companion of train tickets. My goal was to print ink on the top, and the machine is made out of paper could be a memento of several aluminum plates, which I cut on every train ride I took. These experiences ranged from meeting a mechanism which would allow the experience of paper in some beautiful way (and perhaps interactive) way, such that each piece of having the crank. As one turned the paper, and using various mechanisms to mark the paper would move out of interacting with that marked the person whose ticket was being stamped to develop a fascination with traveling by traveling through Western and Central Europe by train. I had some sort of the crank, the conductor try to over charge me fo

My initial conceptual prototype was a small object with a precut piece of the plates together to amplify and explore this property of paper into the slot on a hand crank on the machine would punch holes in it.

The tickets are all different shapes and sizes, and are marked on the ticket was used on a slot on top in which one can place a machine which made interesting marks on a magnetic strip on top of it, others leave an invisible mark is performed by "validated" in various ways. Some machines punch holes in tickets, others print the ticket during the punched ticket serve of the ticket by the ticket is in the printing process

In this project I decided to punch holes in the side, and a slot on the top and one
