machine head

A brief moment of panic occurred today when the motor of the cylinder machine sculpture suddenly came to a halt! This event led to panicked phone calls & a rush hour trip over the Bay Bridge into San Francisco ending in the warehouse machine shop of an amazing mechanical artist/engineer who quickly diagnosed the problem as a simple power source issue. Most likely the fuse blew out in the museum. Thank goodness this turned into a non-emergency that concluded in bourbon & cornflake ice cream and some time in the crazy studio space pictured above. But what was an actual event was the first ever screening for the press of Gravity Was Everywhere Back Then at the IFC Center in New York! Regular screenings will run from May 7th-13th, tickets will be available starting May 3rd! Yay!
