this is a total masterpiece; the tenderness and the humor are incredible. plus there's the uncanny sounds of gears, sighs, and music. awesome.

this is the kind of art that makes you go whats the point, but its still good I GUESS

I've been recently investigating about automatons and kinetic sculpture and i felt absolutely captivated by your work. It's so sensitive, deep and intellectual. I had to present my investigation in class and when i talked about you, everyone was amazed too.
Thanks for sharing your art,
Laura W.

oooooh, you can almost feel them feathers. Just one question though: is that lucious sighing part of the machine or from an admiring viewer?
-
I'm trying to build some stage equipment using a similar mechanism, but how do you translate the movement from the spiral arm to an alternating up down movement for the feathers. does the whole thing run from a single rotor or are there more than one movement sources?

Nice piece. How long do you estimate the feather will last? I would think it might go a few weeks at best before becoming a nub?
Of course if it doesn't run 24/7, it will last longer.

There is very little stress on either feathers and they should last for quite some time. (At this moment the machine is caressing 24/7 in the window of the MIT Museum in Cambridge, MA...)

hey,
I saw (for the first time) some of your fascinating opuscules in the Ars Electronica Center this summer in Linz, I was immediately smitten, they are so delicate and sensuous and comic, beautiful
