wow.
this is for real - marey would tie up birds like this to measure their wing movements, eventually creating a mechanical bird that could imitate the same movements...without flying, I think. (oh, man.)

i am reminded of a project by paul ramirez jonas
where he transcribes the sound recordings of the lunar landing onto these wax drums edison invented
each drum contains maybe 10 seconds of audio that when you listen to it gets erased
there is something about absence/presence/aura here
the impossibility of recording
prj
that project is called "men on the moon"
kevin, also check out "another day"
he is one of my FAVORITES!!! he's the man.
