Wind Sculpture

By Nora Bearman


The term kinetic art is utilized to describe any sort of 3 dimensional sculpture which counts on motion to accomplish its impact. Generally, kinetic art in the modern world is a term that is utilized to refer to three dimensional sculptures in addition to figures like the mobile which move normally or with the help of a motor.

Kinetic art involves a wide range of overlapping styles and technologies. There also exists some portion of kinetic art that involves virtual movement or movement which is perceived only from particular angles. Many times this term clashes with the term apparent movement, which many people use when talking about artwork having its movement coming from machines, motors or electrically powered systems. The terms virtual and apparent movement are just two styles of kinetic art.

Therefore, kinetic art refers to any art form that involves movement. This can include different styles and countless possibilities. Here are just a few of the art forms which fall under this category.

The mobile: This is a hanging sculpture which is comprised of several separate balancing components. These sculptures can be very simple in design, while some are very large and incorporate many individual components.

The rolling ball device: This is a type of kinetic sculpture which has a ball which follows a pathway or track, driven by the force of gravity or by a motorized gadget.

Magnetic art: This kind of sculpture is yet another style of kinetic art which has many variations. Some pieces may invite the viewer to participate in the piece by altering the positions of the movable components.

The stabile: This is a floor based variation of the mobile. Its support framework sits on a floor or a table instead of hanging from above. The movable kinetic elements are then balanced on top of the larger framework.
