In Albanian, we say ” died of laughter,” a slang expression to say that a situation was truly a complete comedy. We laughed so much that death seemed like a risk… It makes us imagine that someone, at some point, really did laugh so hard that they died. Died of joy. A lethal happiness. It reinforces an almost epic aspect of laughter, enough to be depicted on a vase. An event that may have been passed down through collective memory as slang.
The wheel was a revolutionary trigger for human development as we know it today nowadays, we might call it trans-port. Strangely enough, pottery directly borrows the wheel’s rotation and uses it primarily to create vessels for liquids, making them waterproof. A process with the same logic as 3D print-ing. Vasili, a potter from Kraini, single-handedly produces around 300 clay objects per day, an arti-san-industrialist. As he himself says: “This is how you compete with China.”
Ahaaha ahahahah ahah hah haha hahaha our creation is inspired by a remnant in communication, as we often use ahaha in speech. With the rise of social media, it became a phenomenon: laughter expressed as a word, but not quite a word. A written laughter, distancing itself from actual words. A part of technology that was not well thought through.
