"Pollutacuda" - Jud Turner, Aug 2009

Found object assemblage and welded steel sculpture by Jud Turner. 15" x 55" x 10" (wall hanging)

 

This sculpture inspired by a new and very real technology: www.reuters.com/article/technologyNews/idUSTRE52J1RY20090320

 

The pollution detecting fish robot seems like a perfect symbol of our attempts to solve problems caused by technology and industry with more technology and industry. Does the thing detect the pollution it surely emits, too?

Plus, I love that the real version of this machine is decked out in a Disney-like cartoon fish skin, putting a happy face on the whole project.
