We then brought these two machines together for a public performance. The male machine, the first and last anthropomorphic robot I&#8217;ve ever built, responds to the magnetic fields generated by the female organ, thereby increasing its rate of breathing and moving its limbs, simultaneously charging a capacitor to strobing &#8220;orgasm&#8221;. The female machine, on the other hand, is a diverse assemblage including a boiling kettle, a squirting oil pump, a twitching sewing machine treadle, and huge solenoid on a fur-covered board &#8212; all hanging from an old bedspring and energized by an electronic power sequencer.&#8221;[1]-Norman White<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tfr1-1.jpg\" alt=\"http:\/\/www.normill.ca\/Jpeg\/Tfr1.jpg\" title=\"http:\/\/www.normill.ca\/Jpeg\/Tfr1.jpg\" width=\"418\" height=\"294\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Detail of Male [img src:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.normill.ca\/Jpeg\/Tfr1.jpg\">http:\/\/www.normill.ca\/Jpeg\/Tfr1.jpg<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">[1] <\/span><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.normill.ca\/artpage.html\">http:\/\/www.normill.ca\/artpage.html<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":7271,"template":"","artist":[304,107],"streams":[14],"keywords":[2589,2120,2590],"decade":[5542],"media":[5547,5548],"class_list":["post-247","artwork","type-artwork","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","artist-laura-kikauka","artist-norman-white","streams-bodies-surrogates-emergent-systems","keywords-mechanical","keywords-robot","keywords-sex","decade-1980s","media-image","media-text"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artwork\/247","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artwork"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/artwork"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artwork\/247\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7338,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artwork\/247\/revisions\/7338"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7271"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=247"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=247"},{"taxonomy":"streams","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/streams?post=247"},{"taxonomy":"keywords","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/keywords?post=247"},{"taxonomy":"decade","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/decade?post=247"},{"taxonomy":"media","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?post=247"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
