Cyberoptix TieLab

Available at Bambi Gallery: 1001-13 N 2nd St, Unit 7;

Wearing a tie's the adult version of your PE uniform -- but
what if your Lower Merion mesh jersey and shorts were so
cool, you'd actually choose to wear them? Making ties that
don't suck: Cyberoptix TieLab.

From a graphic designer and costumer for Skinny Puppy's '04
tour, this microfiber or charmeuse-silk line
hand-silkscreens whimsy, dark humor, and detailed artwork
onto three widths: skinny, narrow, and standard, worn by
Skinny's more mature '09 incarnation, Standard Puppy. The
spring/summer drop includes "Terminal Illness" (swine flu
viruses attaching and replicating at the nodes of six
conjoined int'l airport terminal diagrams), "Chemical
Warfare" (text derived from the 1942 War Department
Technical Manual of Military Chemistry and Chemical Agents),
and "Topographical Error": distressed remnants of early
1900s sea-depth estimates, since significantly recalibrated
thanks to global warming, or because at the time, "estimate"
equaled "opium-befuddled best guess". Also new for summer is
the self-evident "Woodgrain", "Fried Brains", covered in
overstimulated axons, dendrites, and synaptic space, and
"Unicorn", because "Unicorns are beyond awesome and manly
and will make you way cooler than all your friends. For
real!". Okay!

Cyberoptix has also collab'd with a handful of designers on
unique ties like "Ghostly International" (Pac-Man-esque
ghost in a Victorian circle), the Houdini homage "Escape
Artist" (complete with actual skeleton key on a copper/brass
chain), and "Let Them Eat Cake": Marie Antoinette's coat of
arms/guillotine on back, hauntingly similar to your grade
school mantra of "Let them eat Tastykake".
