<\/a><\/p>\n Chris Conte knows how to rock and roll. Or at least how to build machines that can assist in the task.<\/p>\n Having been commissioned by Adam Gontier, lead singer of alt rock outfit Three Days Grace, Conte has whipped up a microphone stand reminiscent of the final scene of Terminator<\/em>. The stainless steel beast took three months to build and is originally composed entirely of found objects. I guess that makes it green, or something.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI simply build the things I wish I had,\u201d said Conte of the creation in an interview with Wired<\/em>. \u201cThe work also expresses my fascination with advanced technology, specifically cybernetic organisms, combined with my admiration of relics from the past. Cybermechanical sculpture<\/em> is perhaps one way to describe it.\u201d<\/p>\n Perhaps, Chris. Perhaps.<\/p>\n Coming up next: A robot that can sing<\/a> into this microphone, rendering rock stars obsolete entirely.<\/p>\n
