One of my favorite creative companies out there, Breakfast NY, prototyped an amazing machine that turns your instagram pictures into murals made of spools of thread. This was their response to the client's request to create an installation that blended fashion and technology. Absolutely amazing how much testing and research must have gone into this. Check out the videos.
Would love to work with an amazing time like this to create genius products one day. See more of their work at: http://breakfastny.com/
