Motion control artist Bruce Shapiro (previously featured here) recently launched a Kickstarter campaign to created three different smaller domestic versions of his awesome Sisyphus kinetic drawing machine. Now we can enjoy this soothing geometric sand art in our own home as two different coffee tables (3 and 4 foot diameters) or an end table.
“Over time I have come to view Sisyphus as more than a kinetic art piece: it is an instrument,” said Shapiro. “As a musical instrument plays songs, Sisyphus plays paths. My goal with this Kickstarter is to get Sisyphus into people’s homes for them to enjoy as both furniture and art, but also, to inspire a community of composers to write ‘music’ for it.”
