DESCRIPTION: 22-foot high painted steel sculpture with motorized arm movement (2015: inoperative)
This sculpture was one of a series of Borofsky's monumental kinetic sculptures throughout the world. The kinetic design of a robotic arm component relied on an external motor and power source to achieve the artist's intended meaning and effect. According to Borofsky, the hammering arm movement was designed to "move smoothly and meditatively up and down at a rate of four times per minute."
In December 2020 the corporate plaza in which the sculpture sits was fenced for construction and the sculpture was removed. Its status is unknown.
