Machine with Chair - Arthur Ganson

A simple ballet, originally conceived as one act in of an entire evening of machine theatre. The music was composed and performed by me.

I show this to my physics and engineering students every year with no real intent other than that it might get them thinking about beauty.

I can't put in words what I feel when watching this. Beautiful, thank you.

Mr. Ganson, I had no idea you had your own channel on CZcams. I am an engineer, a would-be kinetic sculptor (who never finishes anything) and a huge fan of your work.

I appreciate that you show the process of installation - and what a beautiful musical compostion! I'm moved as always - I just love your work! Diana

I've seen this recording dozens of times and I'd never noticed how smugly the machine sauntered off after depositing the chair
