An exercise in chaos

A tribute to the wonderfully crazy work of Robert Cole (XETuseer).

Made entirely from electrical junk. I sketched out a series of four pieces each with a simple theme. Plausibility was important, so I tried to use real connection points where possible, and to arrange the components in a way that had some (very) small basis in science.

Robert did, in my opinion, a much better job and matured this style to an awesome place. I got inspired by his work and decided to make my own to understand what went into his creations.

Making these is a lot harder then it may look. Mechanical support is surprisingly important as the finished piece can weigh well over 10kg. There's no 'one glue' that will stick everything down, and in many cases screws or existing attachment points are better.
