Very cool

Brilliant! Nice social commentary. If that's what it is...

It was entertaining.

Nice. It reminds me of the Steven Wright joke that goes something like, "You know that feeling when you are leaning back in your chair and you lean back just a little too far and you just catch yourself before falling? I feel like that all the time."

Hey, I love this setup, I really feel some "surge of emergency" each time one of the machines knocks...

That's great! Very funny to watch

this is our society. nice one

brilliant work. thanks for sharing :)

hammer ftw!

I don't know whether there's a metaphor at work here or not; nor do I care. I just think it's a F+++++g brilliant and innovative piece of photography. Bravo!

Interesting!!!

Cool.

I get it, and I like it... Sort of surrealism in motion.

Neat!

That is amazing. I would have loved to see this in person.

nice!

Art! The long build-up before the hammer falls gave my mind lots of time to anticipate the outcome. You tell yourself this is all mathematics applied to mechanics. The artist have thought this over. Cool.... But when the hammer hits the board and it starts toppling over I get this feeling in my stomach, like I want to reach out and stop it from falling. Reptile brain - Logic 1-0

all this edgy stuff remind me of rebecca horn's mashines.
I like it! :)

Like the idea. Nice work.

Great feeling in the pit of my stomach as 'the machine' almost fell over. Thanks. Visceral art via video.

that is so on the brink, i'm impressed

it is cool

Hmmm, I've heard about this in my car once....

I didn't get the deeper meaning, but very nice indeed

Very clever! How long did it take you to "tune" them?

That's just how my country works! it keeps standing miracously after being hit so many times.

Do the machines get just to the point before falling? cuz it feels like they could have gone a little further.

Buenisimo !!!

In my country they subsidise people who come up with such ideas! Nice work!

What an awesome, original idea! I love it!

Interesting idea, it makes me feel like something it's about to crush at some point...

Great. It's like you're cheering so much for the hammer and yet the structure is screaming "Nooooooo!"

Que coisa, dá uma sensação de que vai cair, mas não cai! Haha. É um vídeo bem awesome. It's diferente. Pretty Cool.

very intersting.... but who ever built these has ALOT of time on there hands :P

those sculptures would drive me insane

this is art!

You could have done so much more with this.

Love it, simple and poignant!

I liked that so much!

I love this. Was this on display to the public or made solely for a film? I hope both.

really entertaining! made me smile. :) great idea!

good idea, but they did'nt crashed soo I'm dissapointed

This is the balance

I will never be able to do something this awesome in all of my life.

Movie and sculptures alike are very well done. Mesmerizing, but short enough to leave us wanting more.

very original. good idea.

creative, and apropos to our times!

some bizarre comments here eh?
I like the work

fantastic! great art piece!

cool ... nice staff

this makes me feel warm inside.

Simplistic, but the tension is incredible.

So awesome! Like existentialist robots!

Very very nice :) that is literally on the edge!

Very Good!

Vertigo.

cool?

I love it. Just the excitement of it almost falling back and then it goes back, repeatedly. Nice work on balancing the weights!

Yeah love it dude, like playing on a swing the momentum of hanging and not nowing or you will fall back or go on, nice display.

very cool

please. push....it.....OVER.

This really is beautiful. Thank you...

amazing installation.

terrific concept and realization!

Absolutly wonderful! Machines that go 'bang' and do not fall over! Simplistic design, grace and balance in equilibrium.
This is something I would love to see on exhibit in a contemporary museum. Elaborate on the idea...
If nothing else to watch an old person passer-by 'cluck' in lack of understanding and contempt for the noise

good piece. the anticipation is more important that the result, and the way time expands in those seconds when the piece it's about to collapse is great.
reminds me fischli and weiss work - there's a book about the piece "the way things go by" is highly recommended, - that piece has several things in common with this work - the awkwardness, the sense of humor and the way objects are constructed and displayed. cheers.

Great, how we seem to hope to see the contructs fall, but obviously they dont. A bit of a metafor for all day problems, they seem devastating but in the end you'll manage.

very cool. any footage of the development of this project???

Brilliant. I love the concept of the installation. For some reason it made me laugh each time the "machine" almost fell over, odd huh? Anyway I enjoyed it, thanks.

Nice, I like it.

Those must've been so hard to make!! Kudos.

Doom! Doom! We're all doomed :-)

That is very nice.. in the randomness of life, does one ever actually fall over?

So who is the artist that made these wonderful sculptures? Is it you?
I would really like to know, pls give credit

Hello,
I am the creator of all these works. I use vimeo to host my documentation. Please visit my portfolio site for more information: mkontopoulos.com

this is the exact technique used in the berlin wall to stop escaping vehicles. After introducing that type of wall, the Dragon's teeth had been removed. So your sculpture has a deeper meaning than you may think. great work!

Brilliant work.

And do the hammers get their power through some electric cable, or is it maybe some mechanical spring?

Beautiful. Thanks.

Nice homage to Peter Fischli & David Weiss.

I like it.

Love It!

just amazing! love the idea, and really funny.

Some snide, high-brow bullshit. Always gets a ton of views. Works like a charm.

Brilliant!

Niiice. Good thing the video is not longer. Not sure if I could take the tension I felt every time the machines nearly fell over. Puh.

Serious business. I like the idea, how long did it take to get right?

a real attention grabber and ultimately rather sad for reasons I cannot fathom.

I can identify with this.

Stunning.

totally great.

Fantastic!
