Destruction of the Rain Forest
Client: The Franklin Park Zoo, Boston, MA
Special Skills: Precision mechanism fabrication, specialized electronics and computer programming
Purpose: To arrest viewer's attention regarding the negative effects of deforestation
How it works: As bulldozers, mounted on cam blocks, advance toward the center of the display, the cam blocks engage lever arms connected directly to the "tree" support shaft knocking over the trees. As the drive motor reverses, the trees are returned to their upright position.
