It's been awhile....

Decided to come back, it's been almost a year since my last post on here. I sort of gave up on it after I finished the class I had started it for, but now I'm thinking that I am going to keep the site up! I still love kinetic art but now I think I will move this site to encompass all sorts of different art forms!
Been super busy with school and have done a few shows on my own now... who knew that so many people would like fuzzy monsters... So here's to getting back into the swing of things.

Theo Jansen

When I first saw this work I thought that this had to be CG or something computerized and if they weren't they had to be motorized, and I was wrong on both accounts.These large structures move on their own, using wind to power them around.

Hylozoic by Philip Beesley

This is a very interesting sculpture, very organic in look and feel, a massive, interactive, sculpture that responds to the viewer as they move through it.
Just an update for those of you here in SLC, this sculpture is on display at the Leonardo museum in library square! Should definitely go check it out!

Ferrofluid

Ferrofluid is a pretty interesting substance,   Ferrofluid is nano sized magnetite particles contained in micelles in a mineral oil base, the fluid stays in a liquid form until introduced to a magnetic force. The fluid makes these solid spikes, the patterns of the spikes will change depending on the frequency of the magnetic field.
  In class there was a discussion as to if this could really be considered a sculpture or more of a science project? Is it actually the set up and using Ferrofluid or just the Ferrofluid that makes it interesting.  Sachiko Kodama and Yasushi Miyajima have created several sculptures using Ferrofluid. Whatever your few might be on this interesting fluid, these sculptures are amazing to watch!
