Mechanical tapping fingers contemplate for you automatically

Here's another hand-themed mechanical sculpture by artist Chris Eckert -- the man who created the The Waiting Machine I posted about back in 2008. This gorgeous piece is titled Think Machine.

From the sculpture description:

Cranking the handle drives a series of cams and levers making the fingers of the articulated hand tap rhythmically on the mahogany surface - automated contemplation.
