So I included this in a previous thread, but it’s driving me crazy, so I want to give it its own thread. Years ago, I saw a video of an artist who used a revolving canvas to write sentences. It was big, probably about 5 feet, as the circles started to form you started to see that the sentences were becoming a form, and ultimately it was a very good picture of a face that was made entirely of words. Does anyone have any idea what I’m talking about? ---

I have seen that too, and it’s awesome, but it’s not the one…
