Joseph Herscher is an artist who specializes in comedic kinetic art pieces, and Rube Goldberg devices.
He appears in Episode 4319 of Sesame Street during Murray Monster's "People in Your Neighborhood" segment. He demonstrates how kinetic art works and builds a Rube Goldberg machine to water plants.
Herscher has exhibited at the Venice Biennial, and was invited because of his video "The Page Turner". He told the Herald newspaper that he has plans to create his own kinetic-centric kids show.
