I think the circular object moving in an arc represents the sun, and the life of the sleeper. When the sun sets, the bell rings, and the man has died.
IMHO, It would be better if the circular object stopped it's arc to become the EYE of the sleeper. it would represent the practice of putting coins over the eyes of the dead, as the price for the ferryman to take their soul over the river Styx in hell
@PhAzOnMaDnEsS101XC Thanks for the question! This one was made from some old toaster parts, bits of wire and some pieces cut from a textured steel tray. It's quite old, I made this one 19 years ago!
@geegeevindaloo Wow, looks like you went on quite a scavenger hunt for these parts for this art! Now, what I can't see is the mechanism on the inside that controls the moving arm. So thats just a spring?
@PhAzOnMaDnEsS101XC It's a bit more, a few gears and a spring, I used to buy clockwork mechanisms from Aladdin Toy Motors in NJ. Long gone, the owner passed away and they stopped manufacturing. It has a big mainspring and winds by turning the bell, Ah, I wish these were still made these days.
@geegeevindaloo what is that thing that's coming at him represent? the moon? a window? a blade of some sort? otherwise awesome vid...it would actually be neat if you made that piece of the machine a sun because it would be like a mans life...just as you start to wake up and understand things...lifes over.
Hi Travis. Sometimes Ambiguity in art helps the viewer to engage with the work. It can mean whatever you'd like, that's the cool thing. What I set out to do in my work is one thing, how the viewer sees the work can be another. You can hate it, find it annoying or love it. It's all cool
@travisvalchar001 and who's fault is that? Perhaps you should go play a video game instead. Oh and by the way, there's an actual living, breathing artist who created this piece, spends hundreds of hours making her work and has to read messages like this. I put these videos online and ask little in return.
It would be nice to be a bit respectful and make the world a better place, no?
@geegeevindaloo Unfortunately the internet world is filled with trolls and haters. Try to ignore them is all you can do. Not sure what this contraption is but it looks cool hehe.
@supersohe thanks! Being an artist I have a thick skin. I enjoy all the comments. The ones that are hateful, I find sometimes they're a bit upset about something in their lives, not much realated to what I do. The hardest thing for some people to accept is ambiguity. The best art: sculpture, writing, film draws the viewer in by making her think about the work. It's not up to an artist to provide any answers, just to pose a question.
@strgzr53 i thinkg the thingy moving on a piece of wire is supposed to be one of those round saws and you are strapped to the bed at when the time runs out the saw kinda tears through your head cuz the other piece of wire at the end kinda looks like a guy's head :P
you sillies - he's on his deathbed and awake and is shocked to see Death come towards him, and then Death gets close enough to steal his breath and as he lies down for the last time Death zooms in to take his soul.
@ChuckNoarus Then you're an idiot for believing that there is only a market for useful and aesthetically pleasing machines. Trinkets sell on a constant basis, it's novelty. The more useless, the better.
@ChuckNoarus I think you should take a look around, how many stupid "apps" for the iPhone and iPod Touch are there out? How many watches can you buy now that are just a watch? The economy doesn't factor into it, people are going to spend money on something that will entertain them for five minutes.
