Funny, interactive and grabbing your attention before anything else does. From a distance it&#8217;s just a lone antique vase on a table. Come closer and it springs into life, cleverly recognising your position and darting away to the other end of the table. Cheeky little sod. It&#8217;s then you notice the circle of broken crockery around the table and culpability kicks in as the vase threatens to topple over. I&#8217;m told this piece is about accidents lurking around every corner and learning from your mistakes. Or maybe you should just steer clear of anything remotely ordinary looking here, because nothing is what it seems.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.spoonfed.co.uk\/spooners\/jessjb-18499\" target=\"_blank\">JJ-B<\/a><\/p>\n<p>A preview of the whole Kinetica Art Fair 2011:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=H36fKEaC2D4\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=H36fKEaC2D4<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/robotics\/files\/2011\/02\/Middlesex-University-An-Acc.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-392\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/robotics\/files\/2011\/02\/Middlesex-University-An-Acc.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/robotics\/files\/2011\/02\/Middlesex-University-An-Acc.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/robotics\/files\/2011\/02\/Middlesex-University-An-Acc-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/robotics\/files\/2011\/02\/Middlesex-University-An-Acc-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artinfo.com\/news\/story\/36926\/futuristic-artworks-whirred-and-chirped-at-londons-kinetica-art-fair\/\">http:\/\/www.artinfo.com\/news\/story\/36926\/futuristic-artworks-whirred-and-chirped-at-londons-kinetica-art-fair\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscientist.com\/article\/dn20045-spinning-seeds-inspire-singlebladed-helicopters.html\">http:\/\/www.newscientist.com\/article\/dn20045-spinning-seeds-inspire-singlebladed-helicopters.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailyindia.com\/show\/421615.php\">http:\/\/www.dailyindia.com\/show\/421615.php<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/profeng.com\/profession\/poor-knowledge-of-si-units\">http:\/\/profeng.com\/profession\/poor-knowledge-of-si-units<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/robotics\/files\/2010\/11\/IED-Article-Swan-Breaks.pdf\">IED Article &#8211;
