Blu Dot Red Bed

I came across this bed frame while wandering around the desert town of Twentynine Palms over the Christmas break. Finding this simple red bed unceremoniously dumped onto a red sidewalk reminded me of a recent endeavor by New York based Blu Dot Design. The essence of Blu Dot’s experiment was to randomly locate some chairs in the various Burroughs of New York City, free for the taking. The chairs had built-in GPS tracking enabled – the purpose of the effort being to document what would happen with the chairs, and where they would end up. The results were documented in this fascinating video.
