Mechanical brain sculptures:

Introspection2001_lewis_tardy.jpgNeurofuture is back with a bang after a late-summer sabbatical and has alerted me to some wonderful mechanical brain sculptures by artist Lewis Tardy.

Tardy has created a range of mechanical people and beasts all rendered as if they were powered by complex clockwork and hydraulics.

Some of these include cut-away heads, such as the one featured, with the thinking mechanisms exposed for the world to inspect.
