Russell Davies:
"We've been wanting to play with 3D printers and custom manufacturer for a while, but weren't sure where to start. We'd never seen them in action, weren't sure what we could do.
...
We solved that on October 16th. On the back of an envelope. Look, there it is. We wanted something that materialised individual data in a way that could systematised. We wanted something designed for display and we wanted something trivial, playful and unimportant. Something we could send to our friends. So we decided to make Christmas decorations based on social network data. Obviously.
...
This was the first one we thought of, representing monthly scrobbles on Last.fm."
