The story
Benefits for the creative professional include: 404k retirement plan, anti-social security, and shown here, access to medi-cane, which provides artists with a late life opportunity to finally do something useful.
Every element was found — scrap yards, second-hand stores, dumpsters — then cleaned, stripped, sorted and rebuilt. Found aluminum is TIG-welded and sanded seamless; nothing is cast. The electronics are salvaged from consumer devices, repaired and rewired so the piece does something when you touch it.

Everything in this piece had a previous life. Nemo’s own inventory, in his words.
Crutch, broom.
