We watched a video with Hazel in our Monday morning meeting, called 'Der Lauf Der Dinge', this is an art film by the Swiss artist duo Peter Fischli and David Weiss. It documents a long casual chain assembled of everyday objects, resembling a Rube Goldberg machine. The machine is in a warhouse and incorporates materials such as tyres, trash bags, ladders, soap, oil drums and gasoline. Fire and pyrotechnics are used as chamical triggers. The film is a great concoction of items which move together in a continuous manner to create a rather beautiful and calming effect.
I have found this video on youtube when trying to find the video again, it again involves the same notion of a chain of items moving in a continuous manner. However, there is a more common use of marbles which role and are moved around the set of items. I loved how magnets were used to move magnetic marbles, and it seemed they were moving on their own.
