Multimedia Movie #1 "James K. Polk" waves his flag 1.4 MB, Quicktime   Need the plugin?

My friend organized a great gallery show around the music of They Might Be Giants. I chose the song "James K. Polk" because of it's obscure subject matter. You know I love all things obscure. Polk is powered by a Victrola motor and is controlled by 4 cams and levers inside. I painted the lyrics to the song on the sides. Waving the stars and stripes, he marches along proudly.

This piece was part of the show.
