The Kinetic Sculpture
by art+com
🏆 Honorary Mention · Prix Ars Electronica 2009
In 2009, the Prix Ars Electronica jury recognised “The Kinetic Sculpture” by art+com (Hybrid Art) with a Honorary Mention.
“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.
