Heureka by Jean Tinguely at Lake Zürich, Switzerland

“Heureka“ was described as a machine without a purpose. I saw this in 1964 when it was first erected. Over 50 years later, it’s still not accomplishing anything useful. But, I think it is not purposeless. (The percussive underscoring is my own. The machine does not produce musical notes.) JWGrum Video 235 #jeantinguely #kineticsculpture #zurichswitzerland
