THIS IS TODAY ------ ! THE IMPROBABLE MACHINE!
Those lovely fizzPOP folks will be in residence at The Lombard Method artist studios in Digbeth, Birmingham between the 1st and the 16th of May.
To kick things off with a blast of awesomeness today between 12 - 6pm , they are attempting to build an IMPROBABLE MACHINE in the style of William Heath Robinson. Or, if you like your cultural references slightly more contemporary, in the style of Fischli and Weiss’ Der Lauf der Dinge (The Way Things Go), the Honda Cog advert or that video from OK GO (which I'm not going put up because that band really piss me off as they get mounds of cash thrown at them to make vaguely interesting music videos, and subsequently they get all this attention for their "wacky" promos but, actually, they're just a bit shit). Basically, it'll be like an enormous game of mouse trap.
entry is free, but they really need you to bring some random stuff to help make the contraption truly great. Here are some suggestions, but we’re sure you can find some good stuff if you rootle around in the garage or poke around in some skips as you walk through Digbeth on your way in!
- cardboard, lots and lots of cardboard!
- tubes and drainpipes
- umbrellas
- strings
- springs
- magnets
- buckets
- wheels
- marbles
- golf balls
- footballs
- balloons
- plastic sheeting or tapaulin
- lego
- any other toys or tracks
- miscellaneous items and fancy goods
