Arthur Ganson : Machines

ball_chain.jpg
We have posted about Arthur Ganson before, but I wanted to add a little more information about my all-time favorite artist. For anyone not familiar with his work, you should immediately check out his website. It's full of videos of his amazing work. You can also see a great 5 minute video that is on the NOVA website. Also, for those of you who don't have kids, Arthur Ganson was featured on the PBS kids show "Arthur", and you can read more about that here. Finally, if you are lucky enough to be in the Boston area, don't forget to check out his work at the MIT museum.

I visited the MIT museum a few years back and I have to say, the Arthur Ganson machines were the high point. If you go to Boston, definitely pay it a visit (though it is a bit hard-to-find).
