Description

About the Art: 


"HAMPTON" - a robot xylophone player - uses chaos, mechanism in box strikes from below. AC powered.


About the Artist: Still a self-described "computer nerd" at 83, David has recently decided to self-designate as an artist. For many years, David had a computer business in Rumney NH, that unfortunately became a Covid-19 casualty. Desktops (David's specialty) have given way to laptops and handhelds. So with time on their hands, David turned an avocation into art, calling it "Chaotronics". See https://www.nutsvolts.com/magazine/article/the-chaostron constructed of various chaotic gadgets in the 1970s, eventually sold in a Harvard Square boutique.
