Did SPISH ever win? And I always had a soft spot for Strandbeest. Sigh.

 

Put SPISH and Strandbeest back on, for old time's sake

I think squee put strandbeests back in the running but I'll third it.

 

I'd like to think one of the qualities we all know and love about IDM is the quite often impeccable engineering- every blip, sample, kick is obsessively placed and considered. Have one more or one less and the composition would not function as well.

 

As I look at past winners, I'm not sure we've had something that entirely captures that quality. Sure black holes and out of orbit planets have the sci-fi loneliness captured, tesla had the nostalgic, aged feel, abandoned skyscrapers attempted at more of a decayed sense of place than a successfully engineered machine. Perhaps only the LHC was an awe-inspiring machine, but it was almost to huge to be conceived of at a human scale.

 

This is where strandbeests seems perfect. Immaculately produced machines of staggering complexity, and yet still tied to a certain relatable human scale. Sounds like a winner to me, and not just a rehash of previous victors.

prob already been suggested, but just to be safe:

ejaculating into fire

 

panic attacks

 

agorophobia (fear of situations where the environment is uncomfortable, ie. crowds, the bus, a social gathering, a wide open field, etc.... basically if you fear being anywhere due to the situations it may lead to, this is your phobia.)
