Flashcards
0/15
Theo Jansen
Creates large kinetic sculptures known as 'Strandbeests' that move with the wind across beaches.
Anthony Howe
Designs giant kinetic wind sculptures with mesmerizing movement, combining engineering and art.
Naum Gabo
Pioneered kinetic sculpture with his piece 'Kinetic Construction' that suggests motion through vibration.
Alexander Calder
Invented the mobile, a type of kinetic sculpture that balances and rotates with air currents.
Julio Le Parc
A leading figure in optical and kinetic art, creates interactive installations that engage viewers in the dynamic relationship between light and movement.
Petra Cortright
Digital artist known for creating fluid and kinetic digital sculptures using software-based techniques.
Reuben Margolin
Creates wave-like kinetic sculptures that mimic natural patterns using simple mechanical components.
Ned Kahn
His works focus on environmental phenomena, from wind-flow patterns to water turbulence, rendered visible through kinetic sculpture installations.
Tim Prentice
His kinetic sculptures explore the balance between form and motion, often capturing the subtle play of light and shadow.
Chuck Hoberman
Engineer and artist known for his transformable sculptures that fold and expand through innovative mechanical configurations.
Ralfonso Gschwend
Designs interactive kinetic sculptures that are often monumental and respond to natural forces like wind and water.
Mark di Suvero
Known for his large-scale steel sculptures that often incorporate kinetic elements such as swings or rotating parts.
Nicholas Schoffer
His cybernetic sculptures respond to environmental changes such as sound and light, incorporating feedback systems.
Jean Tinguely
Known for his 'metamechanics', Tinguely's sculptures are machine-like and often self-destructing systems.
Len Lye
Worked with the idea of 'figures of motion', creating sculptures that move unpredictably and produce sounds.
