Best,

I want one now !
reminds me of Tom Shannon...

Do they work toghether?
Does any one know if its somehow connected?
I'm really curious.
And just where are the kudos YOU'VE showered on this wonderful work of art?
This actually reminds me of when I was a child and we visited the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, IL. There was a rotunda somewhere in the building which had a very large pendulum made of a large shiny ball the size of a bowling ball suspended by a thin wire attached to the dome maybe 6-8 floors up. The pendulum was swinging lazily back and forth, and the sign said that it gradually changed its path as influenced by the various gravitational and planetary forces in play.
That's what this thing is and nothing more--a physics experiment, not art. It might have earned a little more of my respect, however, if its components were somehow crafted with substantially more craftsmanship and attention to detail. As is, though, it's just some junk thrown together. I can't imagine anyone buying the Sharpie pen-drawn circles on paper which this machine makes.
btw if that website you have linked to your account is your creation, I have just one thing to say: you have some fucking balls opening your mouth here.
I was merely stating that those silly pendulum scribblings on paper are NOT art. I gave it the credit of being a fun science experiment.
YOU need to learn some manners, grow up, and get off all those drugs. They're making you mean and stupid.
your website still is definitely worth watching :
van-garde.com
I just can't quit browsing it, I mean it's like a DRUG to me, really.
Guess what? Anybody who creates anything in this world and puts it up for public exhibition is subject to criticism & ridicule along with the praise and adulation that may come from the process. That comes with the territory of being an "artist" and I'd expect that the person who made this machine would know that as well.
In short, lighten the f@*# up people.
Don't fell like you're under attack, man, I'm just talkin to ya street style coz i'm a muhfuckin junkie.
I just don't see much art in this piece, other than the clever construction of two pendula swinging at right angles to each other and the resulting "randomity" of their interactions.
Perhaps I'm misinterpreting what exactly is the "work" here. If it's a video of an "art machine", then I consider the paper "prints" to be worthless as works of art themselves. But if one considers the video itself or the machine itself as the art, then the message might be this "randomity" and its demonstration and/or depiction.
If this is the case, then I'd say there was something there. But then I'd criticize the camera work and editing, as they could have been far better. And the drawing machine could have been constructed with far more finesse--all to the end of communicating this "interplay of forces."
I consider myself quite open and able to recognize art. So this work seems to fail at least because it confused me as to what is the message. An artist's primary purpose I think should be to accomplish a clarity and quality of communication of the message.
I know what art is and I know what it isn't, and I'm not afraid to state my opinion.
Art is factually "quality of communication." This implies that for something to be art that there be some discernible "message." That message, of course, could be different for each viewer. For me, with this pendulum device, the message in the "scribblings" is non-existent. But to give the work at least some constructive criticism, I said that the mechanism could have been constructed more "artfully." I think some of our enduring fascination with the late nineteenth century and its then extant cultures was the quality of construction of the period's mechanisms, for example. If this pendulum would have been constructed out of polished brass and/or polished rosewood beams, and the Sharpie were replaced by a pen nib which drew its shapes with a fine grade of India ink on quality bristol board or hand-made rag paper, then I'd give it credit for such "quality of communication", that being to me an essential part of any message.
As it stands, though, and as I've said already, it's cute. But it's just thrown together, and I'd personally have no interest or use for its scribblings.
Very inspiring!

thanks for making and posting this one!
