Via Portland advertising agent (and this correspondent’s early mentor) Jerry Ketel comes this account of artist Christoph Niemann’s tiling solution for two bathrooms in his new house in Berlin. Recommended reading for any post-digital individual who is no longer able to look at bathroom tile without seeing pixels. Treat yourself to the story’s comments thread to find out what the morlocks think. (My favorite: “Talk about idle rich.”) Related – and also recommended – is a story the Times ran a couple of months back about Niemann’s sons and their obsession with the New York subway system.
Oh, and a housekeeping note: Bespoke accepts comments again. Somehow, when we switched servers (which we’re about to do again), the governing templates were overwritten by earlier, non-inclusive versions. Bespoke regrets the error.
