[garymooreisgod]

what the fuck have i just watched?!?!?!?!?!

[Wiggyify]

it is kind of creepy i have to say. the sound of the motors and gears is so very attractive i dont know why, its almost magical!

tell me, how did you attach those 'arms' to the body of the doll...nails?

[nevyn1]

The mathematical and the spiritual combined so eloquently, this piece strikes a deep inner chord in me.

your'e a true genius.

[stadrag]

creepy doll.

it kinda got me thinking...does aliens do that kind of experiments on us? haha

nice vid

[ChristianGamer101]

I have never seen anything like this and am nonetheless impressed. I can see the art in these pieces and am simply amazed by the work that goes into them.

One man's trash

Fallen behind The Curtain;

The view isn't so bad, after all.

[ShinyBlackChopsticks]

ssssoooo cccrrrreeeppppyyyy..... hhhhhhhhhh hhhoorreeeerrr

[thatotherguy27]

My initial reaction was that the doll's movements are disturbingly life-like. Thinking on it a little more, though, the machine isn't bolted to the doll. Instead, it's actually padded, more like a cradle than anything else. Does the machine animate the doll, or does it react to an infant's movements? Interesting piece.

From a purely mechanical standpoint, I envy the gears. My own tools and techniques are... limited.

Halloween!

[shipwalker]

Halloween!

[sparkster7744]

That's.... creepy .-.

[octanbf3]

freaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aak

[queltica]

I was struck by how the machine sounds like a heartbeat to me - the fast heartbeat of a small body, but amplified by a machine that is supporting it, like a machine would support the body of an infant in a hospital - listening to the thing that keeps us tethered to this world.

[cryptoprocta]

impressive :D

[starrychloe]

Like out of Aeon Flux

[charliechapstick3000]

Is this art? Or an actual machine. Very pretty concept.

[rocketzombieboy]

@charliechapstick3000 can't an actual machine be art?

[charliechapstick3000]

@rocketzombieboy i guess so. Anything in the world is art.  and I especially think this is beautiful.

[bune88]

machines can be kind of dark, aslo something so cool.

[bearhedded]

Exquisite! The dreams of abandoned toys, that will never become real (if you believe the Skin Horse, from, "The Velveteen Rabbit"!

[White311]

Absolutely Gorgeous!! Stellar Work my fine friend....

[OregonDARRYL]

Fantastic work Arthur!

[bondcat7]

THAT'S COOL!

[Ausalie]

a god and human freewill can never co-exist...

[brownskingrl07]

[fiveminutewalk]

This is amazing. Thank you for making it!

[extravaganza69]

this is great

[keepwhistlingbob]

something like that would break in my house.

[theemachete]

That is so awesome! I especially love the sound of it working, and how slow and beautiful the motion is. Well done.

[mikelevad]

This reminds me of a very sad Macy's day balloon. I love how in this piece and 23 scraps of paper the main objects of the sculpture are seem to be almost separated from the rest of the mechanism. But with out the mechanism they are no longer transformed and lose the specialness that they obtain by being connected to the machine.

[dreamingmachines]

Thanks for your thoughts. Yes, the separation with rods and the quiet space between the subject of both pieces felt important. In the way way back of my mind I was referencing what feels like heaven and earth with both works.

[uberscientist]

Thanks for posting this one, I hadn't seen it before
