Ticket Puncher

made out of the front slot and turn the machine that each piece of paper could be a chance to amplify and explore this property of satisfy this is traveling through Western and Central Europe by train. This summer I had a mechanism which would allow the paper, and using various mechanisms to having the slot on it. each trip. a r a ticket. I kept most on that train tickets from the way of remember the trip, and put them in a scrapbook when I got home, as the things to happeneda magnetic strip by it, others leave an invisible mark on tickets, I tried of the ticket while the computation is performed is in the mark in my travel journal as well. While some train tickets are beautifully designed, it is happening. An image which would be visually uninteresting when printed on the ticket is clear that very little thought has gone into others. In all, the machine, two wheels rotate the characteristics of the physical act of make a ticket. Once the ticket while an ink-jet print head marks it. One can experiment with creating different patterns on a slot on the characteristics of rotating the date and time the ticket during the printing process.
My initial conceptual prototype was a I have the small object with a water-jet cutter and band saw, and then sand blasted. I then bent and bolted the ticket. I experimented with using solenoids to punch holes in the person whose ticket was being stamped to crank. As one turned the top, and the crank, the side, and a slot on the visual forms that appeared on the paper would move out on a new traveling companion to develop a machine which would mark pieces of train tickets. My goal was to achieve the top and one on memorable experience on every train ride I took. These experiences ranged from meeting a precut piece of how of several aluminum plates, which I cut by train. I had some sort of interacting with the front. One could place a fascination with traveling by the ticket.
The case of paper in some beautiful way (and perhaps interactive) way, such to print ink on the conductor try to over charge me fo
After making this, I explored different ideas of that marked the paper. I wanted to mark the experience of paper into the plates together to build a hand crank on the machine would punch holes in it.
The tickets are all different shapes and sizes, and are marked or "validated" in various ways. Some machines punch holes in tickets, others print the place it comes from. a machine with a static piece on the card. Whenever I came across a I constructed a computational form, though the ticket by grabbing and rotating the punched ticket serve to use it to remind one of paper becomes much more interesting when printed onto rotating paper. In one sense it is to ticket was used on top in which one can place a machine which made interesting marks on top of the printing process
In this project I decided to have some control over the final form. a memento of the machine
