Kinetic Sculpture

I recently came across a very interesting branch of artwork. Kinetic sculpture is moving sculptures that depend on motion for the effect. Often these sculptures are simplistic and wind powered but they can be made to be very complex and mimic more intricate designs in nature. Reuben Margolin designs kinetic sculpture that mimics waves and other natural designs. His designs are very interesting and his work shows a level of dedication and thought that goes into each final design.

BMW has also designed a complex computer controlled kinetic sculpture that has suspended glass spheres attached to filaments that rise and fall and can form into complex designs like that of a car. Kinetic sculpture artists have a lot to account for. Every detail matters and any mistake could bring a quick end to the project.
