Stage B , Sunday 12:30 PM - 1:00 PM
Local mechanical sculptor Benjamin Cowden explains the design and creation of his moving artworks by disassembling and rebuilding a small machine in 25 minutes. See how initial sketches become final layouts, how simple math becomes a complex mechanical movement. Each of the 37 separate pieces of Benjamin's machine will be examined, the tools and techniques employed in their production shown. Mr. Cowden will demonstrate that the elementary movements of his sculpture can be adapted to infinite uses both large and small.
