One of my most recent inventions is a noise machine. As part of being enrolled in sculpture this fall, I became part of a noise collective. What I brought to the group is a machine inspired by industry, incorporating a lever, pulley, and other simple devices which create clanking, grinding etc when operated. Like any machine, this one requires repair and maintenance on a regular basis. Springs become detached, wires break; these connections require adjustments and such. The piece brings in actual, used railroad parts, along with other simple materials.
