En undersökning av kreativitet

1. En bajs korv
ingjuten i plast.
2. En förgiftad muffins.
En hallonmuffins med rot av Stormhatt
3. Vätgas.
Jag har tillverkat den genom att sammanföra saltsyra och zink som då reagerar tillsammans och bildar vätgas.




English: Investigation of Creativity:

2. Hydrogen gas. I made it from zink and hydrochloric acid.

The Sculpture (which is a Weapon)




From my exam show 2008 at KHM (Malmö Art Academy): "The Sculpture (that is a Weapon)

The sculpture is in fact a torsion driven catapult which means that the power comes from a twisted rope which runs through the machine 46 times. It is exhibited loaded. I built the machine so that it would have the capacity to break the walls of the gallery if fired.

Torsion catapults were used in the early Roman Empire before they invented the counter weight catapults, which are more effective and safer to use. The torsion catapults have a tendency to smash themselves to pieces when fired or else from the tension created when the feather (the rope) is tensed. 

It weighs about 200 kilos and is 3,5 m long, 3,20 m high, 2,5 m wide. The throwing arm is 3,20 m long. The bullet is a 4 kilo iron ball.
