Focus on Archimedean Excogitation and discuss the Reception.
Archimedean Excogitation has been a popular attraction for museumgoers. Metta Winter, writing for The Christian Science Monitor, described it as "a noisy, unpredictable affair observers find hard to walk away from". Hayley Kaufman, writing for The Boston Globe, called it "seemingly unstoppable [and] delightfully complex". It is associated with the kinetic art movement.
The sculpture is used by the museum as an educational tool to help illustrate the principles of physics and mechanical devices. It was featured on a 1999 episode of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.
