Robo-Rainbow

More on rainbows in art here.

“One of Milwaukee artist/interventionist Adam Nilson’s “Instruments of Destruction (Complicated Technical Solutions to Aid Simple Acts of Vandalism),” the Robo-Rainbow is a Rube Goldberg machine on wheels. It’s constructed from interconnected bike parts, a drill, mechanical bits and a merry arrangement of spray paint cans. Just you watch what it does. It’s cathartic.”
—Marina Galperina
