Bernie Lubell's Interactive Wooden Machines

The Origins of Innocence - A Theory of Entanglement

In this film Bernie Lubell speaks about the importance of those interacting with the machine to work together. In order to make the machine knit the two people need to coordinate their speed and timing.

I find this conceptually fascinating. Not only does the art work require human intervention to fulfill it potential but it requires a relationship of cooperation, understanding, and most important communication between two people. It seems to me that if the two viewers fail the art work fails.
