Apparatus #5 by Luca Sabot concludes the first season of the Speedshow Series. The kinetic sculpture consists of a delicate mechanism that is splitting teeth, one at a time, four per day.

Speedshow Series is an exhibition format of the University of Applied Arts Vienna, curated at the Digitale Kunst Department / UBERMORGEN. In cooperation with MuseumsQuartier. Luca Sabot finished his studies at the Digitale Kunst Department in 2024.

Humans create machines to handle tasks they do not want to execute, to streamline processes that are tedious or energy-intensive. Luca Sabot’s machines are made to meticulously reconstruct and mediate emotional impulses. Apparatus #5 conveys the medical condition of stress-induced teeth clenching. By processing donor teeth it alleviates the pressure from their former holders.
