That been around a long time, that art is supposed to be non functional. I use it as a cue and try to only make art that is functional, even cross functional.
That's not really true. Your objects and photos have a history of functionality but you're repurposing them as stand-alone works. Whereas when a software writer says "the code for this [fill in the blank] program should be declared a work of art," he or she is usually just looking for extra validation, above and beyond a job well done.

The machines as sculpture are functional. The photos are a little more removed but I consider information exchange (reading photos for their content instead of their esthetics) is also functional. But enough about me, it doesn't realy relate to the original post.
