IjThis Week on Kickstarter
JANUARY 26, 2012
Our favorite projects this week include a band of musical machines from the bygone
Industrial Age, a series of portraits shot inside your favorite four-letter furniture store,
and a family farm dedicated to tasty meats straight from the pasture.
North Mountain Pastures Going whole hog
If you love artisan charcuterie, then North
Mountain Pastures just might be your new
favorite spot. This family-run farm has been
curing meat for years, but is now looking to
make its operation fully "pasture to plate" by
building an earth-banked aging room. The all
natural structure will allow them to make big
flavors at a low environmental cost — to which
we say: Salute!

,CategoryRocation Brooklyn, NYKris Perry transforms post-industrial waste, like
old manufacturing equipment and surplus
mechanical parts, into kinetic, musical
sculptures. He's built everything from massive
drumming machines to wind instruments
resembling old-fashioned church organs, each
as spectacular to behold as they are to hear.
The pieces are slated to debut with a
performance of original music at the 2012
Hudson Music Festival.

Picture perfect
Amy Lombard's project began by accident,
when she happened to capture a few
customers in some photographs she was
taking at an IKEA. The coincidence became
inspiration for Happy Inside, a series of images
reflecting on the commodification of different
lifestyles. Now, many trips and countless
Swedish meatballs later, she's ready to turn a
selection of her arresting portraits into a book.
