Having spent a lot of time with Eddo Stern's show at Postmasters (as I am reviewing it for Art Papers) it inspired me to try to make my own moving figure. I like the idea of lazer cutting plexiglass into the pieces that would make a figure and fashioning it together so that the joints could move. I guess each part would be wired and when a viewer pushes a button (an on/off switch) the arms, legs and head would move. I know this is simple but since i have never made anything that moves like this its a place to start. The figure would be attached to a wire rod and that attached to a block of wood. It could sit on a small pedestal and when a light shines onto it, it would cast colorful and moving shadows on the wall. Here is a sketch:
