Kaho Abe, as part of Eyebeam, a DIY art collective based in New York, has created a Rube Goldberg or Fischli and Weiss-like contraption called the Ticket Machine.
Insert a quarter, and follow the path of the deliberately overengineered gizmo as hacked and discarded electronics perform one step after another, leading to the printing of a ticket. My receipt read "Everything has the potential to become a pancake."
Eyebeam Roadshow San Jose faculty Jon Cohrs, Jeff Crouse, and Taeyoon Choi will be participating in an artist talk as as part of the 01SJ Biennial program, Out of the Garage Into the World. Sharing the stage will be Ali Momeni & Minneapolis Art on Wheels (MAW).
A ticket for a trip is an object that gives you exclusive access to an unexplored place. It is a mere piece of paper, but it carries imagination and anticipation of the future, of what new world it can unlock. The Ticket Machine is a Rube Goldberg type collaborative installation which is triggered with a drop of a coin. The machine then unveils different worlds, created by the collaborators, and finally produces a printed ticket. This installation was created during the Eyebeam Roadshow 2010 at 01SJ in San Jose. Collaborators include: James Stone, Randy Sarafan
The Eyebeam Roadshow will be participating in the 2010 01SJ Biennial in San Jose, September 4-19, 2010. Under this year's theme, Build Your Own World, the biennial will present hundreds of artworks, performances, events, and artist talks, which not only imagine the future of the world, but begin to build it.
The Eyebeam Roadshow is what you get when you mix a rock & roll tour with the talented fellows and resident artists of Eyebeam. It is an event organized by the artists as a way to bring their work to places where it would not otherwise be seen. The Roadshow consists of talks and workshops that are designed specifically to blow minds. So far, the Roadshow has traveled to over 20 locations in the U.S. and UK, spreading open source art and technology wherever it goes.
