‘smoking machine’ by kristoffer myskja, 2007

the mechanical sculptures of norweigan artist kristoffer myskja are all somewhat strange, but the
strangest of all is the ‘smoking machine’, which literally smokes cigarettes. the artwork features a small
device made from brass that most prominently features a ramp of cigarettes. each cigarette is gravity fed
onto a holder, where it is lit and slowly smoked by an air valve that is electrically driven. as the gears
turn, the cigarette slowly disappears until only the filter is left. the machine then ejects the cigarette and
ashes onto the floor below, loading the next one into the holder.
