Saw this at the MIT museum a few years ago. I must have just watched it for 10 minutes. Truly awesome.

this is a total masterpiece; the tenderness and the humor are incredible. plus there's the uncanny sounds of gears, sighs, and music. awesome.

I never thought a video involving a violin, feather, and machinery could feel naughty, but I was almost inclined to check over my shoulder to see if anyone could observe what I was watching! As usual, you somehow manage to make the cold world of newtonian mechanics warm and expressive. Cheers for that mate.

It's art and it's cleaning the resin residue from under the strings!

I love your work Arthur, I must say this is my fovourite piece. It does turn me on! One wants to be that violin. I was wondering wich song is the one that plays in the video? Greetings from México!

I've been recently investigating about automatons and kinetic sculpture and i felt absolutely captivated by your work. It's so sensitive, deep and intellectual. I had to present my investigation in class and when i talked about you, everyone was amazed too. Thanks for sharing your art, Laura W.

@esmarianomariano The song is slowed down version of Billie Holidays classic, "You go to my head" A song as beautiful as this piece. -Cheers

oooooh, you can almost feel them feathers. Just one question though: is that lucious sighing part of the machine or from an admiring viewer?

I'm trying to build some stage equipment using a similar mechanism, but how do you translate the movement from the spiral arm to an alternating up down movement for the feathers. does the whole thing run from a single rotor or are there more than one movement sources?

There is very little stress on either feathers and they should last for quite some time. (At this moment the machine is caressing 24/7 in the window of the MIT Museum in Cambridge, MA...)

Oh wow, now this made me feel scared, I better go and learn to play the violin that I just got, I don't wanna be cleaning and polishing it my whole life, without knowing what to do with it. And that applies to so many other things in life too, at least that's what I got out of this piece of art, that it's a critique to "wannabes"

It is neat. But can't you make it slap the violin instead? Like, turn it over and spank it?
