Biomech Stainless Steel Articulated Arm
Welded and machined stainless steel and brass found objects
Christopher Conte, 2007
Christopher Conte’s sculptures, like this life-sized mechanical arm, must be catnip for anatomists and roboticists. The obvious artistic comparison is with H.R. Giger; Conte was even picked up by Giger’s agent, Les Barany. But Conte’s portfolio, which also encompasses gearhead skulls and mechanoid spiders, is less fevered than Giger’s – slightly more Terminator than Alien.
