This exhibition features new work from Tim Lewis, including the fabulous ‘Jetsam’ pictured, which made it’s debut at the Kinetica Art Fair in February.

This is one of my favorite activities of all time. One thing that consistently surprises me is how much of this activity is actually about friction and stability. Usually I can get the cams together in a way that should work in theory and then run into challenges with the materials. I bet that’s a problem engineers run into all the time. It might be interesting to create a series of automata using different materials to see what kinds of solutions each material requires.
