Help underwrite Kal Spelletich's robot art show
We've posted on BB before about San Francisco machine artist Kal Spelletich, who has made dozens of elegant, menacing, and incredible robots and kinetic sculptures over several decades. Kal is a veteran of Survival Research Laboratories, Seemen, and a former artist-in-residence at the Exploratorium. He's managed to secure a gallery show in New York City on August 6, 2010. The rub is that he can't afford to finish the new pieces and, even more challenging and expensive, ship all this heavy metal and sensitive electronics, and himself, across the country. And back. So he's hoping to raise $3,000 via Kickstarter. If you donate $1,000, you even get a tabletop kinetic version of the giant tree robot (robot tree?) that will be the centerpiece of the show.
