we are here in the Pacific Design Center in Los Angeles California and we found the man behind the hamster power and hamster drawing machine hamster powered hamster drying machines right here in front of us is right here in front of us we're looking right at it in real life and Neil Mendoza is the artist and designer behind that it was a lot of work it kind of evolved into being what it is today started off with kind of a fascination with drawing machines and I already had some experience making you know doing programming electronic so then i took that experience i guess i started applying it to art making they made a physics simulation of the drawing arm part of the machine and then i use that physics simulation to kind of trace out where the wheels would need to be so then i ended up with these two circular drawings and then i used like a machine called a cnc machine which is basically like a big robot to kind of cut it out wood for me I started becoming really interested in that and then I built a drawing machine which work but then I was like what on earth is this thing in a draw people's interest seemed to shift between the two parts of it and then take it in as a whole and be kind of like wow that's really cute I think with my work I want people so you know engage with the moment rather than escaping the moment
