They
say that if you set a 1,000,000 monkeys at 1,000,000 typewriters for
1,000,000 years and let them type randomly at the machines, one of those
monkeys will end up accidentally writing the complete works of William Shakespeare.
Similarly, I wonder, if we sat down 1,000,000 monkeys with a ton of
LEGO bricks, will they end up building a fully functional camera.
Well, photographer Cary Norton took the monkey part out of the
equation and proved that a fully functional camera can indeed be built
from heap loads of LEGO bricks
The camera, named Legotron, uses a 4x5 film back and took over a year (with lapses) to build. Images are quite impressive.
