kinetic sculpture by joachim sauter and art + com
Some pretty heavy systematic behavior achieved at the bmw museum in munich. the artist has a lot of work worth checking out achieved together with Berlin based art + com.
“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. In the beginning moving chaotically, then evolving to several competing forms that eventually resolve to the finished object, the kinetic sculpture creates an artistic visualisation of the process of form-finding in different variations.”
