Maker Faire Bay Area 2009
e pur se muove (and yet it moves)

Location:   Expo Hall  146   

We make kinetic art pieces. Reusing computer parts along with wire and various motors create constructions that evoke impressions of flowers, butterflies, or random mechanical art pieces. Working with kids we have simulated constructions of amusement parks, Calder style figures and mobiles, trebuchets and catapults, clay and mechanical animation to name a few.
