The Disgusting Spectacle was the brainchild of artists Tracy Feldstein and Don Bruce. It was built in 2005 in Oakland CA. More info on that project can be found here: http://laughingsquid.com/the-disgusting-spectacle/ This piece was built this year in Oakland by the same crew that built the Steampunk Treehouse last year. http://steamtreehouse.com/ I had the pleasure of working on both The Disgusting Spectacle (the nose picking machine in question), and the Lumbering Contraption (the machine pictured in this particular post).
