“Steam of Consciousness” by Christopher Conte is a kinetic sculpture of a skull that is powered by a miniature steam engine. Conte specializes in biomechanical sculptures and has unusual qualifications that make him uniquely suited to his artform—before he became a full-time artist, Conte spent 16 years making artificial limbs for amputees.
