Untitled Fragile Machine, seen last week at Arthur Ganson‘s very charming Long Now seminar titled Machines and the Breath of Time.
As Stewart Brand says about Ganson’s work: “As long as the idea is nonphysical, it is permanent; it becomes temporary as a physical device; and then it becomes permanent again in the mind of the viewer.”

The seminar is available for download as audio and there’s a video to watch too.
