James Théophane Jnr‘s Painting Render Crash:

“Work asked me to contribute a piece of art for our reception. I decided to hack an old replica painting from Spitalfields Market, London (an old flea market on Thursdays). I built a motor using one of those kits you can get from good electronic stores, painted acrylic on canvas and cut out a spinning beach ball of death glued to mounting board.”
