ZERO LAB

Inside ZERO LAB

A room for trying things.Then building them for real.

Every machine up there works. The lab is where we test ideas on ourselves before they go anywhere near a client's site.

01

Play

Everything in the room works.

Flip the lamp, dim it, feed the vending machine a coin. Each machine is drawn line by line and wired up like the real thing.

Test

Tricks get tested here first.

A desk that turns to be seen from above, a spotlight that flashes on, a terminal that rises out of the floor. If a trick holds up in the lab, it is ready for real work.

Build

One new machine at a time.

Station C is taped off and waiting. The next figure lands there when it is ready, then the one after that.
