Jean-Pierre Gauthier: Machines at Play Installation

“What makes Gauthier’s art chatter, jump, jitter and sing?” During regular gallery hours on September 17 – 21 and 23 – 26, webcams answered that question as they captured artist Jean-Pierre Gauthier building his mechanized art from the ground up.

The open installation and these three webcams were the first in the museum's history and allow the public access to a process that's normally off-limits.
