on impression of machines…

posted by john on 6 August 2008 to art

these are all sculptures and the man who designed them is better than an artist. he is an artist by mistake. very good art never aims directly at beauty, but at significance, meaning, clarification. the people who make these machines have the clarity of innocence.
