A Mesmerizing Apparatus
First Year project: In with the Old and Out with the New
“One student, Sabine Dina, brought a 1952 pinwheel calculator into the studio and went through an elaborate process that included mapping the intricate pieces of the object with technical precision and manifesting an emotional rendering of the model. She then delved into the concept of how the numeric values control and take hold of modern civilization in many aspects by repurposing the calculator into a device that used tracks, magnets, and marbles to mesmerize and take hold of its spectators.”
