For his new project, Err, artist Jeremy Hutchison contacted various factories
around the world, and asked if one of their workers would produce an
'incorrect' version of the product they make every day: in doing so, the
functional objects became artworks.

"I asked them to make me one of their products, but to make it with an error,"
Hutchison explains. "I specified that this error should render the object
dysfunctional. And rather than my choosing the error, I wanted the factory
worker who made it to choose what error to make. Whatever this worker chose to
do, I would accept and pay for."

The sunnies with no place to put your nose are hilarious.

Peace,

Katherine
