Awakening The 3rd Man

Published on September 6, 2013


Theme: A column-container came from the depths of the stars. She traveled from port to port ... It can only be opened when approaching a real Terran.
She reveals a roboide be asleep: he wakes up, breathing, yawning and stretching, he tries to leave, his eyes are human. After a few attempts, he shows his true nature of "light machine".
Some gestures of language semaphore to deliver us his message and he decided to plunge into a sleep of eternity ... And the container is closed for a fresh start.
Sculpture to 18 movements, sounds and lights, programmed and random!
Material: Steel, brass and bronze. Height: 240 cm.

Ordodinateur.

Published on October 27, 2013


Robotic sculpture,
Sitting height : 130 cm . Standing height : 230 cm . Base : 100 x 130 cm.
Pneumatic mechanism . Powered by silent compressor 220 v .
Infrared detection. Mixed material and electronic circuits.

Some sacrificial African statues are covered , multiple layers of mud, blood , bone , hair and hair , shells , colors , weaves and nails ... Of everything that makes "life" !
The "Grand Ordodinateur " has accumulated in his shroud the essence of his memoirs:
Old radio tubes , transistors and other electronic components ...
His body was covered all eras of integrated circuits, since one of the first which existed in 1959, overlaid with pure gold ...
But the Grand Ordodinateur is a guru, a shaman , using his power to deceive the world ... The force behind it is pneumatic , its electronic memory is only a few hundred bytes ! Its powerful breath is only air ... wind !
