I'm all about kinetic sculptures from found materials.

TOMORROW Saturday, October 19, 6-9pm. 494 Ninth Street, Oakland CA. My solo show “Retro-Speculative” opens. Thanks to significant help from leaharipotch kintod and markoapparatus it’s really starting to come… https://t.co/vQkp4bEzu5

Hi Twitter. Remember me? I’m having an art show next weekend!

[Nemo Gould @nemomatic]

Done! #projectegress part 32 bottom 1 linkage assembly. I hope it plays nice with the rest of the project. Can’t wait to see @therealadamsavage and @testedcom put the whole thing together on July 18 at @airandspacemuseum .

Part 2 of #projectegress was a little trickier. It had more radius parts, and the more material you whittle away, the more delicate a part becomes, and safely holding it in the machine becomes a challenge. Somehow... https://t.co/CSK0T5qErg

Fortunately I was given a blessedly simple part to make for #projectegress but that still meant it was at the very edge of my ability to conceive of how to do it. We’d been given the freedom to interpret our parts... https://t.co/oEA8kMDEJ0

I’ve just been given permission to share this previously top secret project! #projectegress is a sort of collaborative, commemorative, patchwork quilt, exquisite corpse, life-size, semi-functional interpretation of... https://t.co/knbledN2z0

Here’s a “sketch” for a little robot bust I’m thing about. I’d like to see a control room with tiny human technicians behind glass in the “mouth” area. Considering using more of those oxygen sensor “blinkers” for... https://t.co/pOXeaWTZkA

That’s a wrap. I just broke down my sculptures at @museumofneonart . This one (“Petroparasite”) and many others will soon be on display in a group exhibition in Santa Rosa CA (more info to follow).

Propellor makeover.

Eight portals in all. Still considering adding some maintenance crew guys elsewhere on the ship.

Now we’re getting somewhere. Early lighting tests are typically when these projects start to feel alive.

Kind of a brass monkey vibe starting to happen. I’m still planning to add some ears, which will likely change the character a bit.

Here’s another character from my earlier animation experiments (Utinsect 2014). It proved too wonky to even bother filming. In hindsight the real value of the project was in getting familiar with silver solder and... https://t.co/InMqeSEDBJ

Here’s a better view of the other character in my previous post. The main element is the scroll from a violin. I used bike chain links for the ball joints. Pretty much everything else was hand machined. He... https://t.co/G6GyVAs5qC

My pieces “Petroparasite” and “Stag Beetle” had a small-screen moment on channel 5 KTLA (Los Angeles area). They’re currently on display at the Museum of Neon Art in Glendale CA ( MONA Museum of Neon Art ) as part of the exhibit “Kinetic Energy - Art that won’t sit still”.

[Nemo Gould @nemomatic]

I just can’t seem to get into into the studio these days, so I’m reposting this older piece. “Webcrawler” 2016 (29" x 12" x 24"). It was originally conceived as a stop motion animation character, but eventually... https://t.co/8io8Kms49O

The dark side of improvising my way through these projects is that I end up duplicating a lot of effort. This propellor wound up being just a bit too far from its transmission, so a bearing guide had to be made.... https://t.co/F7GsdUl04s
