Enthusiasts for any particular type of machine, from steam trains to fast cars, often claim the object of their adoration is art. It almost never is!
But if any machine comes close to such recognition it is the Cicara Art One by
Chicara Nagata. It might function as a machine, it might even ride fast and well, but its purpose in life is to be. Just looking at this piece will give many, who lack a mechanical bent, a deep sense of satisfaction.
Technically the piece weighs over 260kgs and it displaces1200cc, but who really cares about such things? It took 7500 hours to create and is one of a series of four individual pieces. The works have won awards in Belgium, France and Germany.
Gratitude to
Materialicious.
