The Sensor

the machines concept is to work perpetually as rust/decay is perpetual/inevitable. an electronic motor will be used to power the turning cog. the motor will also be connected to a proximity sensor that will activate a relay. The machine works in reverse though, where the motor turns when no one is near, but stops when someone is near. This is a play on the process of decay, where we normally only see the result of decay and hardly the actual decaying (probably because most natural decay is quite slow). Nevertheless, I proceeded with compiling the electronics necessary.
