“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 into the finished object, the kinetic sculpture creates an artistic visualization of the process of form-finding in different variations.

ART+COM (DE) was initially founded in 1988 as an association by designers, scientists, artists, and IT experts. In the beginning, the vision was to explore the new medium of computers and the possible applications. Hence, ART+COM has been a pioneer in this field since the start.Today it continues to be a central source of inspiration for media design, technology, art, and research in Europe.
