The Applause Machine, designed by artist Martin Smith and engineer Nick Regan, is an ingenious and whimsical object. A press of the button activates a series of motors and gears which drive the two hands to clap together. I especially like how light it looks, the long spindly structures make it seem like it should be floating away. I would love to see them do an installation of a hundred of these sculptures, modified to react to some environmental stimuli.
Thanks to Nick Regan at Laikingland for sending over all the info.
that's too funny!
