Faster! - Arthur Ganson

This machine was a response to a call by the World Sculpture Racing Society in Boston to make sculpture that would exhibited on the street and in the context of a road race where the 'best' work would be determined by race rules (win, place, and show) and not subjectivity. The cast hand is my own and the pen, controlled by three cams (x, y and z axis), moves in three dimensions and writes the word "faster!" on an index card while being pushed down the street. The faster the cart is pushed, the faster it writes. Warning, an out of control feedback loop between creator and creation can result in dangerously fast speeds and certain death.

Saw the whole display at the MIT museum
each one made me go "holy crap" more than the last

Translate the x-y-z coordinate movements into a mathematical function that describes the radius of the circle at any given moment during the writing.
Brilliant.

me parecio muy exitante, desde el concepto hasta la manofactura de los entes: hombre y maquina

[@tamajinn]

Jaw-dropping. I love the whole concept.

[@Sully800]

You consistently amaze me.

I hope the newly moved MIT Museum puts this one back on display (it wasn't there on my recent visit). Nor was the pram with the squirming metal worms, which doesn't seem to be on CZcams, alas.

[@SanaSamaha]

I thought it was writing "bastard" until I read the description. -__-
faster makes more sense.
