I would love to attend. SAM (or what is left of it) is currently shown in the FEEDBACK exhibition I co-curated with Jemima Rellie and Charlie Gere for Laboral in Gijon, Spain. It would be wonderful to raise money to restore the piece.

6pm
The Senster and SAM (Sound Activated Mobile)
Alex Zivanovic will talk about the work of the late Edward Ihnatowicz, a
pioneer of interactive kinetic art.
In particular, he will concentrate on SAM, a sculpture exhibited at the
Cybernetic Serendipity exhibition in 1968, and the Senster, exhibited in
the Evoluon in Eindhoven from 1970 to 1974. Both sculptures moved
recogniseably in response to the sound and motion of the people around
them, giving the impression of being alive.
The talk will explain how this was achieved and what we can learn from
these ground-breaking works. In particular, Alex will talk about how
natural, elegant motion can be achieved.
Cost: £7 / £5 concessions
