INCREDIBOX. - StumbleUpon. V.O.W N°26 // Melvin the Machine | Yatzer&. Photo © HEYHEYHEY V.O.W N°26 (27 June - 3 July 2011) We think of innovation and invention as highly engineered, complex systems that are built by some mad scientist in a remote space. The process results in long and layered equations, drawings and an endless source of references illustrated in a step by step process to further explain the construction of the device or machine. We have familiarized ourselves with this elaborate system through Einstein, Sherlock Holmes, even the coyote as he tries to invent ways to capture the road runner.
For this week's VOW, we have brought you one of those diagrams to life. It is highly engineered, highly interactive and social but the actual task of the machine might deceive its purpose and vision. Melvin the Magical Mixed Media Machine is best described as a Rube Goldberg machine with a twist. Created by studio HEYHEYHEY for the 2010 Dutch Design Week, Melvin was featured for 10 days at the MU artspace where 14,000 people came to see it perform.
