Housed in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology museum in Cambridge, MA, is a permanent collection of wondrous and playful machines from MIT's former artist in residence Arthur Ganson. Some bounce endlessly, others oil themselves, others still perform mysterious tasks without explanation. Of particular interest is the sculpture in which a tiny wishbone must, Sisyphus-like, forever drag an enormous machine around behind him.
