Kinetic Sculpture





The Kinetic Sculpture is a metaphorical translation of the process of form-finding in art and design. 714 metal spheres, hanging from thin steel wires attached to individually-controlled stepper motors and covering the area of six square meters, animate a seven minute long mechatronic narrative. In the beginning, moving chaotically, then evolving to several competing forms that eventually resolve to the finished object, the Kinetic Sculpture creates an artistic visualisation of the process of form-finding in different variations.

Click the link in the title above to watch the video of this art installation. Let me know what you think. What does it mean? How do you interpret the artist's intentions? Does this give you any ideas for future video projects? I'd love to hear your comments about this one!
