time to start a blog.

Today my world was completely blown out of the water. I came across this video:

and then this one:

and now I want to be Theo Jansen’s disciple. I immediately wrote my dad to tell him that I am going to drop out of the Hunter MFA program and go to engineering school, so that I can make amazing kinetic sculptures like these. Then I read his bio on his website (http://www.strandbeest.com) and realized that I need not be so rash, while he did study science, he was a painter for many years. Maybe there is hope for me, and I can learn enough mechanical engineering without dropping everything.

So now I have this blog to keep track of my interests and influences, so they don’t slip from one ear out the other.
