Pufferfish Controlled Brass Horns
Posted by on December 29th,2006Ok, this has to be one of the more peculiar things that I’ve found, but it’s delightfully bonkers and more than a little Steampunk. It’s like someone took the tame but quite unhinged sketches of a Victorian inventor and actually made one come true! What is it? Well, it’s Keny Marshall’s Apophenia – and it’s pufferfish in a glass and brass pedastal, watched without rest by several cameras which convert the fishes’ movement into in- and exhalations into brass horns. I found this over at the Table of Malcontents (and they found it at We Make Money Not Art). I imagine if you were in Pittsburgh, you could go and see/hear it in the… brass? Wanders off, impressed by the curiosity of it
