Entrance of the Virtual Gallery Wing where you will find human powered and computerised sculpture machines constructed between 1983 and 2015 (?).
Some of the machines were initially human powered, but at later stages were powererd by humanoids cast from the artist's younger body.
The notes below distinguish the pure machine sculptures from those initially human powered and when humanoids were introduced.
Links to performances and exhibitions are also provided below, allowing you to explore and then return to this page by clicking the MACHINES button.
Because some of these machines were also used in specific performances there are cross links
between the MACHINES wing and the PERFORMANCES wing, allowing you to move between each.
When you are ready you may want to check out one of the other galleries.
