I built a machine that compresses thin metal rods lengthwise using air-pressured syringes, making them bend semi-randomly at certain points. I then added obstacles at some of the more common bending points to force the rods to bend in different ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of the bent rods in the picture have been put through the exact same process, yet they all look very different. In a way, this can be seen as an analogy for many life situations &#8211; with different individuals reacting to the same stimuli in different ways, and leaving different marks on all of us.
