Neat videos. Self-described as a cross between a mechanical engineer and a choreographer, Ganson creates contraptions composed of a range of materials from delicate wire to welded steel and concrete. Most are viewer-activated or driven by electric motors. All are driven by a wry sense of humor or a probing philosophical concept. Link.

I can't the link right now, but know Mr. Gansons work from a show at the Decordova museum way back. Its excellent, funny and more durable than I expected (that wishbone walker has been going for 10+ years, of course it may have a new wishbone).
A lot of it is at the +MIT museum+ in cambridge MA. He also invited to make a mini-golf hole for a museum. It had multiple circular disks spinning (like a potters wheel) which caused the hole to move eratically.
