Found parts and off the shelf parts combined with plexiglass and vellum sails, attached to hobby motors, run through PIC interface, operated by the viewer. Intended to make the viewer giggle and feel like a kid again.

About the Maker(s)

I am a senior at the University of North Texas, currently seeking a double major in Political Science and Ceramics with a minor in Sculpture. I enjoy making small things that, through repetition, focus the viewer on a simple motion of movement. I like to simplify things essentially. I also feel that what I make should be fun - should engage people physically and make them smile.
