Wonder Object, Documentary on Kinetic Art Sculptures by Gary Schott (via laughingsquid)

“I like my work to be humorous, that’s what I need out of my work, and in fact I quite enjoy that the work itself is very time consuming and yet all of it is to make this device do this kind of almost ridiculous intimate action.”

I love how mechanical these pieces are, the “simplicity of cause and effect” that Mr. Schott refers to, and how simple but satisfying the interaction is. There’s a lot of whimsy without being cloying.
