Arthur Ganson - Sculpture that's truly moving (1)
Why) This page is actually a small part of a large tribute I did to the T E D series of talks. That tribute did not make it onto the internet but you should really click here to watch and listen to the original version of Arthur's March 2004 TED presentation. Then you might have a better understanding of why I wanted to go to the museum.
What) Housed in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
museum is a permanent collection of wondrous and playful
machines from MIT's former artist in residence, Arthur
Ganson. Some of Ganson's wonderful machines bounce
endlessly, others oil themselves, others perform
mysterious tasks without explanation. Of particular
interest is the sculpture in which a tiny wishbone must
forever drag an enormous machine around behind him. The
MIT Museum also has the world's largest collection of
holograms. (2)
