Rubber Chicken Launcher

I can't find much information about the contraption pictured above, but I gather that an artist in Asheville, North Carolina made a machine that launches rubber chickens a considerable distance using a motorcycle engine. The video shows him firing the chickens at what appears to be a sculpture made of boxing gloves.

UPDATE 4.23.11: Commenter Ashevilleisawesome lets us now that the artist is named Sean Pace, and you can read an excellent article about his work (including the Chicken Shooter) here. Thanks!

Entertaining concept. Ridiculously bad camera-work in the video.

The artist's name is Sean Pace, and he is currently working at Phil Mechanic studios in the river arts district of Asheville. Here's a link to more info...http://www.wncmagazine.com/otv/on_the_verge/sean_pace

How to freak out the participants of a speed-dating night when they ask 'and what do you do?'
