Universal Newsreel - 'Heureka' by Jean Tinguely, Switzerland; 1967
American newsreel reporting on the installation of kinetic art sculpture 'Heureka' by Jean Tinguely, possibly one of his 'Métamatics'. The machine, which incorporates various cogs, wheels and other mechanisms, has been described as purposeless and a comment on consumerism and busy modern life. In this newsreel, the sculpture is referred to as 'Daily Hour' and the newsreader comments on the controversy surrounding its installation. Also includes wide cityscape showing spires rising above the city skyline. Zürichhorn, Zürich, Switzerland; precise date unknown. (Universal Newsreel_Episode 1967 – ABMA707K)
