Lori Kanary, an artist known for cobbling pictures together out of Lite-Brite, was recently commissioned to build the world’s biggest Lite-Brite image — a garishly-coloured Asics shoe.
Impressive. Though part of me is just relieved Asics didn’t reach for the graffiti artists, which are making a tidy living off shoe labels experiencing crises of brand relevance. The other part of me is resentful of how, as a kid, I never even got to touch a Lite-Brite.
This time could be different, however. Splashlight Studios will be exhibiting the Asics Lite-Brite, starting with New York, for the next six months. Think there’ll be guards around it?
