Prayer Wheel is a 3D printed replica of a traditional buddhist tool used for tantric visualization. The intricate designs and mantras that typically reside on the wheel have been replaced with text pulled from the Dalai Lama’s Twitter feed. His holiness tweets on a regular basis and has quite the web presence. He streams, podcasts, and blogs about his philosophies. In this work I hope to expose this curious juxtaposition of ancient tradition and new technology.
