CONCEPTUAL haptic art #1

The Knots (33) was found from the streets. These knots have lost their original meaning to tie two or more things together. So they have lost their original task. I found the first knot (a little white packet with a small knot) from the city streets of Lahti. I read from history of knots that the oldiest knot was found at Antrea area in Finnish Carelia (a piece of fishing net). One can see later a hidden meaning in my project: two years later I was in the world of knots – Internet.
