The story
Hypnotic moves and a visible heartbeat are but a few of his charms.
Every element was found — scrap yards, second-hand stores, dumpsters — then cleaned, stripped, sorted and rebuilt. Found aluminum is TIG-welded and sanded seamless; nothing is cast. The electronics are salvaged from consumer devices, repaired and rewired so the piece does something when you touch it.
Parts list
Materials
Everything in this piece had a previous life. Nemo’s own inventory, in his words.
Ice cream scoops, small drill press, vacuum cleaners, bicycle cranks, casserole dish, circuit boards, soap dish, fence caps, motor, LED lights.
