This is an enormous mechanical spirogragh machine used to create unusual, and huge art pieces. Rosemarie Fiore created the ‘Good-Time Mix Machine’, from an old farirground ride called the Scrambler.

I connected a gas generator and air compressor to buckets of paint and secured them into the seats of a Scrambler amusement park ride. Once the ride was in motion, paint sprayed out of the benches onto vinyl tarps placed underneath. The result is a series of enormous hypocycloid designs which recorded the hidden patterns created by the ride as it turned.

You can see a video here, which is quite impressive. It’s amazing that as the paint drained, it didn’t become unbalanced and shake itself to pieces. :: Rosemarie Fiore
