Tortipad

The tortoises are still pacing the Aspen Art Museum penthouse.

If you haven't been keeping up with our local hot topics it's tortoises. Cai Guo-Qiang’s “Moving Ghost Town Tortoises” exhibit has garnered multiple protest petitions most notably the one started by Lisbeth Oden https://www.change.org/p/aspen-art-museum-take-the-ipads-off-the-tortoises

The articles have been fast and furious.

Here's my own unsanctioned unauthorized art exhibit in front of the Aspen Art Museum on Sunday Aug 24. The unsanctioned unauthorized art exhibit consisted of me walking veeeeeeeerrrrrrrry sloooooowwwwwwly back and forth in front of the Aspen Art Museum for 30 minutes wearing my "tortipad".

To create your own tortipad you will need the following:

an iPad in a case (I suggest an iPad mini), some twist ties, wall sticky putty and a ski helmet.

use the twist ties to secure the google strap to the back of the iPad case (this is a speck fit folio)

Place the wall putty on the back of the iPad case on the other end.

The twist tie secures the case at the back.

The putty secures the case at the front.

Not recommended for use above African Sulcata speeds. 

The exhibit is scheduled through October 5, that is unless the weather turns too cold for desert tortoises. Given our propensity for snow in September… I'm guessing that the exhibit won't run the full course.
