Scroll Wheel

Scroll Wheel

Found spinning wheel, wood, conductive fabric, leather, iPhone, motor and microcontroller
85cm x 85cm x 36cm

I look up after an hour of scrolling and wonder where the time went. In these moments, I feel like a machine, so in Scroll Wheel (2022) I created a machine to do it for me.

My hand is liberated in a similar way that spinning wheels were used to multiply human effort during the industrial revolution. 

It's also a sanitary way of scrolling while on the toilet, or getting a lot of Tinder dates really quickly. I like to leave my phone here so it can feel loved when I put it down.
