I've always wanted a slipmat in the shape of a urinalOriginally Posted by Bud Peyote

I think bud means the rotoreleifs not the urinal period:

it would make a nice slip mat, or post-modern bindi

Why Marcel Duchamp, what am I missing? I mean, is there something specific or do you just like Duchamp or what?

Ah, ok, that answers my question, thanks Captain.

I've always thought the Vertigo swirl was a homage to these, but never seen Rotorelief slipmats in gallery shops and like. Suppose it'd be up to the Duchamp estate to license the design, or not...

im sure i had some vertigo swirl mats, they were screen preinted so scratched records. so i chucked them

Yeah what Captain W said. Sorry I wasn't clear enough.
After I posted this my brain blowed up trying to figure out if it would work with a 2D disc cause I read these were painted on a convex disc or something...
The idea of the Vertigo logo being inspired by these struck me as well, especially as I came to think of the vertigo slipmats of course. But they are not what I want. A coloured one like the discs in Dream That Money Can Buy would look awesome and say "surrealist film fan" rather than "wallace".
And yeah there's the licensing issue, but wouldn't it be easy to make ones 'inspired' by his discs, very slightly different from the OGs?
A urinal shaped turntable would be cool too.

Put me down for one.

Indeed: in case anyone's NOT seen Hans Richter's 1947 classic, here's a taste of Mr Duchamp's contribution to it:

I think the Rotoreliefs were mainly flat discs, but sometimes involved two or three glass discs turning at different speeds - at least in the few sculptural versions I've seen (I think this kind appear at times in Anemic Cinema from 1926): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXINTf8kXCc
The ones filmed in the Dreams That Money Can Buy clip all look pretty much like flat designs painted on turning platters so would make perfect slipmats.

I'd never seen those Duchamp things before, very cool. I'd always assumed the Vertigo swirl thing was just a kind of standard optical illusion trick and Duchamp was all about urinals, shows what I know
I'd purchase one of those mats too

Cheers for the info!
Who got the design skill to make a pirate rotorelief (or 2, 3) design then? Not too close to the originals but still looking cool?

Yep. Well mods.
But Duchamp was first, his were made to rotate (at about the same speed as a turntable), and didn't have a revival in fashion mid-nineties.

Screenprinting them myself is out of question because the colour will scratch the record?
