Martin Smith (Laikingland) - Solar Orbiter Product Movie (MB&F M.A.D.Gallery - 15th Anniversary)

The M.A.D.Gallery’s 15th Anniversary Festivities continue with Martin Smith and the Solar Orbiter Watch Winder. Smith describes it as: “chaotic, mesmerizing, sophisticated in its construction, and a bit quirky”. Keen eyes will notice that it incorporates elements from all the works Smith and Laikingland had previously created for the M.A.D.Gallery, including the clapping hand and heart. The design draws upon his love for toys with interchangeable parts and captures the spirit of the Eames Solar Do-Nothing Machine, an aluminium solar-powered sculpture created in the 1950s to demonstrate solar electricity long before it was a thing.
