Materials: steel, aluminium, Programmable Logical Controller (PLC), promimity sensors, truck windscreen-wiper motors, bicycle chains, "C" track with captured trolley wheels. |
A reworked version exhibited at Werribee Park for the Lempriere Sculpture Prize & Exhibition, 2002 (awarded honourable mention) | Solidly re-worked; using 24v Programmable Logical Controller (PLC), track with locking system. No chance of the objects coming off the rails; the only problem being the loss of power along the track needed by the motors driving the pods. |
