This guy sent me a friendship invite the other day on YouTube.
He does these kinetic sculptures which are often beautiful, often funny.
This one has the title "Satisfactory."
The artist is Brett Dickins.
If you click on this clip to bring it up on YouTube, you can see eleven other examples of his work.
I love the one you can see there that opens and closes like some sort of strange sea anemone in a weird radial unfolding/enfolding.
This one I like because it seems such a parody of evaluation, testing, treading water, the zero sum game of sanity, etc.

About Me
- William Keckler
- William Keckler. Poet, Narcissist, Blawger. Sad clairvoyant. Answering machine for the dead. Beep. Formerly, the Valerie Solanas of American poetry blogs. If I owe you an apology, I'm saying it right here. J'accuse la manie. Butthole Whisperer and erstwhile poacher/harvester of ivory. Out of Africa and deepest Harrisburg. Goreyphile from a very early age. Bipolar bear much baited by circus freaks. Let's watch crackheads watch RUGRATS on vintage NICKELODEON. WHORE PIECE: Be a whore for a year. This means a literal whore. Have sex only for money. Have sex only with people you despise. Throw all the money you earn into the sea late at night. Come back the next day and see if any money washed ashore. Complain. I wish I could say humans move me closer to God, but usually it's the Cocteau Twins. I'm crazy as a Trappist monk talk show.How come nobody ever complains that they're overrated? I have poetry horror stories. I don't hate anyone but human coat hangers get on my nerves. Cliquey sons-'a'-bitches. Son, I am disappoint. The greatest weakness of anything is that it's not something else. Disability niggah. I cannibalized a hipster and I liked it. Pray for me.
