what’s the point, of beauty?

March 3, 2010

What’s the point of a Rube Goldberg contraption? Children get science-class assignments to build things, learning about different “laws” I suppose. But why should grown-ups invest hours!!! in building such things?

Well, because they are things of beauty.

I love the fern frond in this one.

And this one is just crazy amazing. Love the sounds of the contraption becoming part of  the song.
