Die Reibenkunstmaschineaktion

I got the machine back from the gallery yesterday and set it up in my office, to trap the unwary (though more and more people are learning that it is a Bad Idea to go into my little corner of the office without some very well-defined and short-term request, and that they must not get distracted by anything they may see or hear while there).

Here is a brief video of the machine in action, demonstrated by my co-worker Nadine.

I think it's a very elegant way you chose - the maximum effect (images being destroyed, and selectively at that) with the minimal mechanicla input (limited by the engine power) :)

And i checked for spirograph in the meantime - actually it's even on sale on amazon, but everyoen's moaning at how it's not as good as it was in the good ol' days :/

Damn.

Thanks, I am glad that you like it! I don't know if I will do more along these lines, this Carnival of Destruction was just a one-off event. There might be other chances in future.

If you really want to experience the joy of Spirograph all over again, I can send you some assorted wheels and rings to keep you busy for a little while.

That's a very sweet offer :) ...but your future scultptures will need them, and i do not need any more reasons to moan for the lack of time..

Thank you very much anyhow :)
