The Wondersome Machine of Jean Tinguely in Basel #basel
The player loads from YouTube only when you press play.
Jean Tinguely built machines that rattle, clank, and spin in ways that seem designed to resist any obvious purpose, kinetic sculptures that feel more like mechanical jokes than art in the traditional sense. We filmed several of them running at once inside the museum dedicated to his work in Basel, the combined noise turning the room into something between an orchestra and a junkyard. If you are anywhere near Basel, the Tinguely Museum is worth the detour just for how strange it all sounds together.
