big bang drawing machine

the big bang drawing machine was the result of being invited to be part of the derby museums trust exhibition stand at the 2017 big bang exhibition in derby’s historic roundhouse.

the work was an evolution of a previously shown drawing machine.  it was made suitable for an exhibition setting and proved popular and set up many conversations – as intended.

over the course of the event there were over 120 participants playing, being curious and drawing with the machine.

at the heart of the machine are the maths of conjoined pendulums.
