EatART's kinetic sculptures spread energy awareness through art

Desh Raj SharmaJun 25 2010

Vancouver-based art lab EatART follows that peculiar convention of creating sustainable kinetic sculptures on a regular basis. Be it the Mondo Spider, Daisy the solar powered tricycle, Prosthesis, ContainR, 3E-ROI, Gramorail or the Titanoboa, each of their giant sculptures offers one enough to dwell on. The art group has made its presence felt at various community events and festivals across Canada and abroad.

The team consists of Jonathan Tippett, Charlie Brinson and Leigh Christie. While Brinson hopes to bring the Titanoboa, an "electromechanical reincarnation of the ancient 60-foot serpent" into existence in a year or two, Tippett is working on an anti-robot called Prosthesis. However, Christie’s Mondo Spider – weighing 725-kilogram – seems to be the best of them all, considering the fact that most of other sculptures are still in the making process, and we don't know much about them.
