i’m digging mark ho’s “functional mechanical artform.” it’s essentially a spectacularly refined and bad ass version of an artists’ articulated wooden figure model only made of bronze and stainless steel. it consists of 920 parts (101 in the hands alone) 85 of which are movable. all hand made. it comes with a magnetic base. very cool. it’s in an edition of only 25 so if you want to buy one you better skiddadle. see below for a few images.

i must say it instantly reminded me of this, which i was totally fascinated with as a lad. if you go to the site you’ll also notice one pose which looks suspiciously like shatner in mid-over-act. good stuff.
