Two, yes two mechanized designs of wonder and astonishment.
You may think them mildly amusing at first, but after gazing upon the shear genius of these creations, I think you’ll agree with me that they are right on par with being two items you wish you could attach as appendages somehow… or use in your library.
The thought that goes into the design of these mechanized creations is phenomenal. Take a look.
Shape-shifting Light
Chris Natt is the impressively mindful creator of Stimuli 3.0 light.
The light and shape change depending on the lighting of the surrounding environment. It uses a gear box in the center to change the shape of the translucent covers along the X, Y and Z axis. He developed the design and gearbox using Pro/E, with special attention to the gearbox to make it as small as possible.

A 50ft Spider
La Princesse created by the La Machine theatrical machine company. 37 metric tons. 50 hydraulic axes of movement. It’s just dang cool and is exactly the type of design that nightmares are created with.

That sphere is very interesting!

The sphere is really, really cool. However, the spider is just plain creepy for me. Can't stand the eight legged monstrosities.
Yeah, I eat up stuff like that. Total geekery. love the idea of mechanized invention responding to an environmental stimulus. I think , if this can be done mechanically, why not programmatically in CAD programs?
sign me up when we can 3d print the sphere, and the spider for that matter
Very cool stuff! The sphere is amazing; I am impressed with the intricate design.
And that spider is just wicked! I wanna take it “walkies” around the neighborhood!
The Designer of the first one is called Chris Natt not Gnatt….
