Instead, the New York-based machinist relies on his imagination. "I just get a vivid idea in my mind of what I want to make and start hunting for the parts," he said. "I have a large inventory of antique parts, so I'll often play with them like Legos and see what comes together."</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.wired.com/culture/art/multimedia/2008/01/gallery_conte?slide=1&slideView=10"><P><STRONG>Left:</STRONG> Machined from stainless steel parts and brass found objects, this fully articulated arm was based on the anatomical version of the human skeletal system. To build the "Biomech Stainless Steel Articulated Arm" in 2006, Conte drew on both his professional background and a childhood fantasy he's harbored since he was 8 years old.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.wired.com/culture/art/multimedia/2008/01/gallery_conte?slide=1&slideView=10"><P>"I've wanted to build a robotic arm since I was a kid," Conte said.
