Kinetic Sculpture

Art That Makes You Fear For Your Life I'm glad I only discovered Alex Posada's "Particle 1.0" on the internet, because if I came across this kinetic sculpture in real life, I would only do two things: duck and cover. Created in Barcelona, Posada's sculpture uses all sorts of unique gadgetry to respond to its environment, translating the movement around it into a terrifying spectacle of light and sound. A pair of sensors above the sculpture detect exhibit-goers' movements and relays them to several LED lights, spinning on a concentric structure resembling an atomic diagram. A surround sound system in the exhibit space is synchronized with the lights. What does all of that tech amount to? A spinning, whirring neon orb that looks like some sort of bomb, moments after detonation. Or an alien pod, hovering menacingly. Or some other thing that's threatening my life. All I know is that art appreciation has never been scarier.

The Studio Bricolage 3rd Annual causation machine build will focus upon wireless connections and mechanical devices. Start planning your piece of the machine today and bring it to the event. Wireless, in our minds, means a remote controlling a VCR which pulls the tape which... or a cell phone which is called and vibrates down a slide which... or a motion detector which detects the bowling ball that rolled by which turns on a ... or a Clapper (R) which hears a clap and turns on a ... or a garage door clicker that makes the garage door opener start turning which ...You get it. Use of sound and light get bonus points! We will have some of these devices on hand but please scrounge some and make them run before hand. Honestly we don't think there will be enough time to to put together a somewhat complicated machine like that.
