Exciting update about our sculpture at MIT, a robin has built a nest in it! And it's having babies!
@nervous_jessica omg that’s so cool!
@loren @nervous_jessica "oh no, my babies are stuck in a different dimension" – that Robin, probably
@nervous_jessica That's really fuckin cool.
Congratulations on winning The Robin's Seal of Approval Award
@nervous_jessica This made me think to check the Cornell Red Hawk cam and guess what? One of the eggs hatched yesterday!
@nervous_jessica May I ask, what was your objective when building this structure ? In all the cases that looks so kewl
@lemeteore back story in this blog post https://n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/blog/?p=9493
@nervous_jessica Thanks a million \o/
@nervous_jessica That little sliver of blue egg showing? Love it!
@nervous_jessica Is that a North American Robin? Looks different to our European ones.
@dusepo yes! They aren’t closely related. American robins are much larger birds
@nervous_jessica @dusepo True! American Robins are thrushes
@nervous_jessica highest best use
@nervous_jessica What a work of art! And the sculpture ain't bad neither.
@nervous_jessica Now do one for the Cantabrigian turkeys.
@nervous_jessica I read this really really fast and thought robots had given birth. I was like "damn, MIT has gone too far!"
@nervous_jessica You know what they say... art incubates life.
@amanda it’s in the interior courtyard of N52. It’s a little tricky to access the courtyard but it can be seen from the windows of the undergrad design shops on the third floor
@amanda thank you!
@nervous_jessica
Cheers for the robin! And is that a model of a minimal surface?
@nervous_jessica So it was absolutely worth building that sculpture!
