videos about unusual machines. hypnotic ...! hmm "The Dream" could be by David Lynch. Emotive Engineering What happens when a chair is in the way of a moving machine? Instead of a pile of toothpicks, Arthur Ganson's machine, an elegant walking clock of delicate parts, picks up the chair, raises it to the sky and puts it down behind itself in a graceful, spiraling arc. 23 scraps of paper float in a sensual dream over a forest of gears and rods. Another machine rhythmically bathes its body with scoops of viscous black oil. This is the soul of mechanical devices, elemental and voluptuous, the antithesis of Rube Goldberg machinations. The online videos don't do them justice - check out the long term installation at MIT.
