As an official part of
United Arts ArtsFest 2011, conceptual artist
Brian Feldman produced a project called "The Skill Crane Kid" February 6, 2011. During this project, he remained inside a skill crane machine for 16 hours, 8am - midnight on February 6, 2011 at Stardust Video & Coffee in Orlando, Florida. Visitors plunked quarters (50 cents per play) into the machine for the chance to win some of the stuffed animals Feldman swam in. The event streamed live and each hour was recorded on video per posterity. We were there to catch moments from the final hour, including his exit from the machine, which starts about halfway through the video. He climbs out, stumbles slightly, slurps down a glass of water, stumbles some more, puts his shoes on and walks to the bathroom.
