Gramofon, 1981 by Wojciech Bruszewski
Following up on a previous post about a record player with four needle arms, here is another earlier example by Polish New Media artist Wojciech Bruszewski. There isn’t much to say about this in English, all that is said is:
Record Player with four arms.

Tim Noble and Sue Webster take ordinary objects - like rubbish - to make sculptures which really don’t look like anything. The magic happens when they point a light at them and project the shadows onto the walls. The process of transformations, from trash to recognisable forms, echoes the idea of perceptual psychology - a form of evaluation used for psychological patients. Noble and Webster have repeatedly played with the idea of how humans perceive abstract images and define them with a meaning. The result is surprisingly powerful, redefining how abstract forms can transform into figurative ones.
