Wow I really like the art of Felix Thorne. the machines are good looking - steam punkish and yet organic, lively. and the music is clever and curious. reminds me of gamelan, but yet, fairy like.
I love these multi-disciplinary and multi-layered art. this one touches on the following disciplines:
- performing art - music and visual
- performance art - live show
- engineering
- computing
- sculpture
- Music (composing, as well as the playing out)
- lights...
- video (when the works are constructed for such platforms)

The reason that I enjoy works that offer/present multiple perspectives is that I had read and been influenced at a young age, that there are many facets and faces of truth. Truth is supposedly objective, but can only be interpreted subjectively.
Thus, I feel that it is interesting and thought-provoking for art to provide different ways of interpretation and can provoke the audience to understand different levels.
In some ways, I think that there's some truth expressed in sincere art works, and it's this subjective truths that are essential to the art work. and sometimes, it is this truth that makes a piece of work beautiful and moving.
Many would disagree with my sweeping definition or generalisation, for the problem with the definition of beauty and art are divergent lines that would never satisfy.
