Kinetic Sculpture



Kinetic art is art that contains moving parts and depends on motion to create a certain effect or convey a certain message. It is indeed a phenomenon that has originated and bloomed throughout Europe, but its existence dates back to ancient Egyptian era. What makes kinetic sculpture so special is the strong concept and the mechanics that puts the entire piece together. In fact, the mechanics bolstered by electricity or other methods of energy is what makes the sculptural piece come to life and incapsulates a unique quality. Each piece has its own personality and a different level of fluidity. One that comes to mind is Art+Com's Kinetic Sculpture created especially for BMW Museum in Germany. Check out other cool projects at Art+Com's website.
