First Concept for Installation and Soapstone

For my early design ideas I have been looking the work and inspiration behind

Theo Jansen (Super crazy in the best way)

Tom Otterness (I hope to be as cool as him when I grow up)
http://www.tomostudio.com/exhibitions_subway.html

Joel Shapiro (Anthropomorphism at its best)
http://www.lalouver.com/html/shapiro_08.html

Also from an installation piece in the The National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan) in  Japan, Tokyo, Odaiba.


   So far the rough idea is to create a kinetic sculpture that in powered by the wind of people walking through the space... or possibly a small fan and pump system. Ideally a set of stick figure "body parts" will hang suspended and with different alignments produce different scenes. Possible Title "Your Dirty Mind"?

    We talked about the difficulty of large mechanisms, but I love the idea of kinetic movement. My advice: think simple.

    Sites like this can be useful. Take the mechanism and change the outliers to your aesthetic and conceptual purpose.
