Moon­al­ice poster by Chris Shaw

Accord­ing to Moon­al­ice leg­end, tonight’s poster by Chris Shaw depicts a curi­ous piece of tribal tech­nol­ogy: the Psy­choDuper trip printer. Invented by Pro­fes­sor R. Gold­berg Moon­al­ice, it vaguely resem­bles a type­writer, a trash can, a case of beer, or the Mona Lisa, depend­ing on your state of ine­bri­a­tion. Pro­fes­sor Moon­al­ice was known to over­com­pli­cate even the sim­plest mechan­i­cal processes. In this case, all he wanted to do was print some nice blot­ter for tonight’s show, but one thing led to another. As a good engi­neer, the pro­fes­sor tested every­thing, includ­ing the blot­ter. Every cou­ple of hours. 24x7. For weeks. At the end of which he came up with device you have before you. Take it home and try it for yourself.
