Mechanical Universe, Part I: The Pastoral
Mechanical Universe was created for the Boston Cybearts Fesitval: Punzo shipped his cyber insects to the Boston, where Sherman created their living spaces, part irreverent homage to Donald Judd; part reverent homage to Jean Tinguely and Alexander Calder.
But pure Punzo and Sherman.

Each 'box' is a collage of highly textured paint and polished aluminum. At the push of a button, the doors open at staggered intervals, revealing a host of musical 'cyber insects,' before slamming close. The individual 'boxes' also can be re-configured to respond to the architecture of the space in which the piece is exhibited. The idea is to create an up-dated, modular version of the 17th century Italian pastoral by way of the 21st century.
