The Twittering Machine

Here's a blueprint I drew as a prop for a friend's performance piece.  The friend is Greg Cousins, aka Wingas. The piece is The Twittering Machine.  It's a marvellous Rube Goldberg / Heath Robinson-like contraption that Greg has transformed into a neat little performance.  It ran during the Adelaide Fringe to universal delight.  I'll let you know when it's next being staged, but in the meantime here's a little video.  Enjoy!

Great stuff - I have a treasured old falling-apart book of W Heath Robinson, it's good to see the spirit lives on! Didn't Paul Klee do a painting called Twittering Machine?

Thanks Gay! Yes, there is a Klee painting called The Twittering Machine. In fact, I think that was Greg's initial inspiration.
