Cameron Robbins invents and constructs mechanical systems that make tangible the underlying rhythms of natural phenomena, such as ocean currents or wind. In the NGV International’s Grollo Equiset Garden, Robbins has installed a drawing machine based on the thermo-hydrograph, an instrument commonly used by museums to ascertain and control temperature and humidity. Exposed to the elements for the duration of Melbourne Now, the machine will create abstract ink drawings on paper controlled by the climate.
