The idea that led to “Margot’s Other Cat” came to Ganson while he was dealing with a computer program that simulates movements of an object on the Moon. He got the urge to develop a mechanical sculpture that displays motion with the very same elegance. In “Margot’s Other Cat,” Ganson seemingly deactivates the laws of nature—here, the gravitational field. While the cat moves uniformly from left to right, the chair completes bizarre movements above it.
