ORLAN (Saint-Étienne, France, 1947). "Disfiguration-Refiguration, Precolumbian Self-Hybridization" No. 12, 1999. Photograph. Specimen 2/7. Dampness and damage to the frame. Signed, justified, and titled on the back. Measurements: 100 x 100 cm; 104 x 104 cm (frame). In this photograph, Orlan continues to question the social and cultural pressures exerted on the body and its representation in the media. Orlan has created a new image in this work, literally combining pre-Columbian and African icons with his own image; the resulting hybridizations create a complex narrative that blurs distinctions between time and place, real and unreal. He has created a new image to produce new images: Self-Hybridizations. The work contains evidence of past tribal rites and rituals associated with beautification that, along with her own modifications through plastic surgery, argue over salient issues in recent history such as collective identity, tragedy and exclusivity. The self-hybridizations also act as portraits of a potential future humanity, in which interbreeding between humans of diverse backgrounds gives rise to new bodies, with nomadic and mutant identities. ORLAN's career as a performance artist began in 1964, when he performed Marches au ralenti (slow-motion walks) in his hometown of Saint-Étienne. During these performances, he walked as slowly as possible between two central parts of the city. In 1965, ORLAN produced MesuRages, in which he used his own body as a measuring instrument. With his "ORLAN-body" as a unit of measurement, he assessed how many people could fit into a given architectural space. This was the first time he used his body in a performance piece. ORLAN reused this concept in several subsequent projects. Between 1964 and 1966, ORLAN produced Vintages, a series of black and white photographic works. She destroyed the original negatives of these pieces and today only one copy of each photograph remains. In this series, she posed nude in various yoga-like positions. One of the most famous images from this series is ORLAN accouche d'elle m'aime.Between 1967 and 1975, ORLAN produced a body of work entitled Tableaux Vivants. He based them on the works of Baroque artists such as El Greco and Gericault. He used inmates as models, wore exaggerated imitation Baroque costumes and drew inspiration from Caravaggesque stereotypes. In 1971, ORLAN "christened itself" Sainte-ORLAN, adorning itself with black corrugated vinyl and white faux leather. Color photographs of Sainte-ORLAN were subsequently incorporated into photo-collages, videos and films tracing a fictional hagiography. During the 1977 FIAC International Contemporary Art Fair in Paris, ORLAN performed the controversial performance piece The Artist's Kiss (Le baiser de l'artiste). Outside the Grand Palais in Paris, a life-size photo of his torso was turned into a slot machine. Spectators could watch the coin inserted into the torso descend into a groin before receiving a kiss from the artist.ORLAN founded the International Performance Symposium in Lyon. In 1982, he collaborated with artist Frédéric Develay to create the first online contemporary art magazine, Art-Accès-Revue, on the French precursor to the Internet, the Minitel. In 1990, ORLAN initiated the Reincarnation of Sainte-ORLAN. This is a series of plastic surgeries through which the artist transformed herself into elements of famous paintings and sculptures of women. As part of her manifesto "Carnal Art", these works were filmed and shown in institutions around the world, such as the Georges Pompidou Center in Paris and the Sandra Gehring Gallery in New York. ORLAN's goal in these surgeries is to acquire the ideal of feminine beauty as depicted by male artists. When it is compl It presents humidity and damages in the frame.

Original Hand-Drawn Oversized Blueprint for the Intel 1205 Chip - Designed for Disney World Vending Machines Original hand-drawn blueprint for the Intel 1205 chip, accomplished in pencil on an off-white 30 x 30.5 sheet, matted and framed to an overall size of 36.5 x 35.5. The chip was designed by Matthew Miau in 1971 as a custom chip for Mars Money Systems (the candy company) for use in Disney World vending machines. As an early application of EPROM memory, it converted vending machines from mechanical to electronic systems. The large, highly intricate schematic is signed in the lower left by seven members of the Intel team, including Miau. In fine condition, with the mat somewhat loose within the frame. This represents Matthew Miau’s first project as engineer after joining Intel in 1971, before going on to work on the famed 8080 team. Miau left Intel in 1976 and founded multibillion dollar MiTAC-Synnex Group, where he is chairman today. In an interview with the Computer History Museum, Miau reflected on this project: "When I first joined, as much as I wanted to try the microprocessor, I was given assignment to do a custom chip design for Disney World, for the company called the Mars Money Systems, to design a vending machine chip that recognizes the coins, to recognize a quarter, a dime, a nickel, and accumulates, and can then dispose the candy or whatever. And then, that was a very interesting project for me, very challenging. And I was very happy to be able to design the whole thing, and later write my test program. And that’s challenging for an engineer I think. I wish that all engineers have this kind of opportunity, to design for something and to write the test program itself, and to see that the chip works and sells." The chip is also referenced in the 2001 article 'Recollections of Early Chip Development at Intel,' published in the Intel Technology Journal.
