just stumbled across this lovely piece about westgate bridge
'motion sculpture for the masses'

"The Bridge is preoccupied art with singular purpose. It subordinates human scale, sings with the power and majesty of electrical motors, pulleys - petrol combustion equations. With the fine tuning of engines magnified by huge volumes traversing tarmac, there is music, poetry, rhythm.

Stand beneath and listen: there is life, encased in metal. In the newborn phase of the 21st century, human evolution sheds its penultimate stage: onwards, then, to posthuman intelligence, armoured, body-enhanced, supermodified."
