Ryan Siegan-Smith, ‘I don’t want to make a book’ (2007)
Not a book.

“The landscape was a mixture of the strange and the beautiful..”

“Well, I don’t know about the treasure, but I’m sure there is fever there.”

“There was no evidence that man had ever sat foot here before”

A video shot for Portscapes, a series of art projects along the coast of the Maasvlakte, near Rotterdam.
Dijkman shot the video from a boat circling a newly created island. This video was eventually dubbed with audio excerpts from moviescenes where people are entering land from the water.

Below is an interview with Dijkman about the project

Arthur Ganson, ‘Machine with concrete’ (1992)
Each worm/worm gear pair reduces the speed of the motor by 1/50th. Since there are 12 pairs of gears, the final speed reduction is calculated by (1/50)12. The implications are quite large. With the motor turning around 200 revolutions per minute, it will take well over two trillion years before the final gear makes but one turn.
