(after Montreal) during Montreal PART DEUX



Wet Dream Bed Spread, Well hung, Wrapped Pole, Gregory Beck Rubin and Daniel McGibbon, November 2007

I hung the copper tank from a pole not too far from one of the BB walls. There was space between the hanging tank and the wall to suspend an elaborate steam wand. After the tank was hung, I set up the electrical, wrapped the cables around the pole and tested the motion sensor/electrical kettle element. Yes! it worked. Contrary to the preliminary sketch for setting up du Still in the BB, all the parts of the machine were hung from the poles. This arrangement was very convenient, giving me clear space around the machine to stretch the wands, interact with other installation. It also gave me a clear space for capturing the condensed water spitting out of the steam wands (when activated). What possibilities were there for using the water drops instead of treating it like an anomaly in the project?
