Bending reality


When I saw the picture of the wavy hairdo au naturel I began thinking about my own children – they also have a wavy hairdo au naturel.

I want one.

Artist Reuben Margolin has created a series of wooden kinetic sculptures, which he calls Waves. One of these sculptures “The Square Wave” (image) is made of wooden dowels controlled by an awesome mechanical contraption. You really have to admire the tremendous effort and degree of precision this guy has used to create exactly these billowing […]
