Mechanical Insects Made of Watches, Justin Gershenson-Gates, aka A Mechanical Mind, is a Chicago-based artist that creates small intricate insects from watch parts. The miniature creatures are soldered together with gears, springs, and other watch parts.
Each tiny sculpture takes hours to complete. Once finished, the robotic collection comes alive as tiny legs scurry about.
