  • @ryanakron but the thing is the black liquid is coming from the base and gets poured over the machine ,so if anything the black liquid is the shit we have to go through in society and the machine repesents our will to keep on living even though we know we are subjected to the same filth again and again ...........

  • as simple as that....

  • I love this piece!

  • Most "automata" artists are in Europe - when was this incredible show at MIT? Thank you for documenting these pieces!

  • machine with oil, very nice

  • I like how it's self lubricating, yet it does nothing. quite pointless if it were an actual machine instead of art.

    really cool though
