The ambitious and imaginative structure of Hawkinson&#8217;s sculpture offers an uncanny visual metaphor for Melville&#8217;s epic tale, which is often considered the ultimate American novel.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imamuseum.org\/art\/collections\/artwork\/m%C3%B6bius-ship-tim-hawkinson\">M\u00f6bius Ship<\/a><\/p>\n<p>(<i>via <a href=\"http:\/\/kottke.org\/\">Kottke<\/a><\/i>)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ads.pheedo.com\/click.phdo?s=ab0dc561f841387e78a12e94e96699f4&#038;p=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/ads.pheedo.com\/img.phdo?s=ab0dc561f841387e78a12e94e96699f4&#038;p=1\"><\/a><br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"0\" width=\"0\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/segment-pixel.invitemedia.com\/pixel?code=TechCons&#038;partnerID=167&#038;key=segment\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"0\" width=\"0\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pixel.quantserve.com\/pixel\/p-8bUhLiluj0fAw.gif?resize=0%2C0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"0\" width=\"0\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/amch.questionmarket.com\/adsc\/d887846\/17\/909940\/adscout.php\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/boingboing\/iBag\/~4\/8ru2VEze6nk\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\">&#8220;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>M\u00f6bius Ship: &#8220; Tim Hawkinson&#8217;s M\u00f6bius Ship sculptures are nautical, single-surfaced and have fractional dimensionality.
