The machine transforms into a moving being by lifting its normally stationary arm and exploring its space. The
user
controls the arm and the original light and motor attached to the machine through the pressure sensor in the
pedal. The
sewing machine takes on a new life by altering the mechanism and removing most of the external shell. As one of
the
first industrial machines placed in the home, it is often disguised to fit its surroundings. This machine breaks
out of
that shell revealing its industrial qualities and removing its purpose.
