This has to be one of the most useless items ever created. This is called a magnetic sculpture, "mini jupiter" model. My sister got me that at the Cosmodome of Montreal. Now, don't get fooled. It,s nothing like Jupiter. And the "venus" and "neptune" models either... They are just the same model but colored differently. But hey, at least it's less annoying than Newton's Craddle.

From the exhibition Sculpture in Motion at the Atlanta Botanical Garden on view through October 2008 and curated by Brigitte Micmacker from Sculpturesite Gallery. Curator's commentary: "The George Rickey work in the Sculpture in Motion exhibition, Two Lines Oblique, Atlanta, 1969, on loan from the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, is a classic example of the monumental works composed of blades that became Rickey's best known legacy. The long, tapered blades used as pendulums are a wonder of empirical engineering: light-weight sheet stainless steel is wrapped around a structural core and lead weights are distributed unevenly to slow down the blades individually, a procedure Rickey used to create as much as a tenfold difference of tempo within the same sculpture."

Sachiko Kodama's "Morpho Tower": "This work is conceptualized as an "organic tower." The magnetic fluid, with a smooth black surface that seems to draw you in, reaches the top of the tower, spreading like a fractal, defying gravity. The form and texture of the physical surface of the tower constantly alter between the hard iron core and the changing form of soft fluid. This is a dynamic sculpture, with reactable fluid surface".

George From the exhibition Sculpture in Motion at the Atlanta Botanical Garden on view through October 2008 and curated by Brigitte Micmacker from Sculpturesite Gallery. Curator's commentary: "In George Sherwood's reflective work, subtle changes not only of wind currents but of sunlight through the seasons, are recorded within the fluid forms. "A primary focus is on the creation of sculpture which echoes the vitality and gestures distilled from natural phenomena... My sculptures are best viewed over extended periods to appreciate their interaction with the environment." The graceful motion of the two arms of Tendrils (Gingko Leaf Variation) reveals a complex engineering system and indeed, the viewer is recompensed for taking time to decipher this ethereal sculpture."

Hokusai showcases the artistic genius of world-renowned kinetic sculptor, Jeffery Laudenslager. Creating a dazzling array of powerful forms, yet maintaining the simplest of elements, Hokusai showcases the foundation of powerful sculptural dynamics. Visit www.laudenslagersculpture.com to view is current sculptural showcase. As always, I enjoy the opportunity to create the videos for this great creative wizard.

Part of the exhibition Sculpture in Motion at the Atlanta Botanical Garden through October 2008, curated by Brigitte Micmacker of Sculpturesite Gallery. Curator's commentary: "Jeffery Laudenslager has taken the dramatic periods of perceived danger that George Rickey favored to an extreme in his elegant works, and he expresses the predicament of the nearly colliding elements most eloquently, aided by the speed he gains using the extremely light-weight and resilient metal titanium. But it is the long, sweet release into graceful recovery that is Laudenslager's signature. Mikoshi, created specifically for its magnificent site in the Howell Fountain, is a sensuous work based on the Yin-Yang symbol."

Kinetic art is art that depends on motion for its effect. The motion can be provided in many ways - through wind, electricity or by relying on a bystander to provide power, such as cranking a handle. Sculpture in Motion is an exhibition of Kinetic art at the Atlanta Botanical gardens that runs through October 31st 2008. 16 of the most prominent kinetic artists are showing 25 different kinetic sculptures that harness the forces of nature. Wind power, solar power, sound waves and even human energy are used to create beautiful movement that changes over time. "Installations were starting to happen in the 60's and 70's when I was beginning and I think that really influenced me", artist Kristina Lucas told us. "I'm not really content to make a little object that just sits there but something that you can immerse yourself in and walk around and be a part of is just more interesting." Susan Pascal Beran told us about the appeal of the unpredictable. "I love wind motion and water motion when it is most random because it gives my sculptures the depth of an ever changing composition and an ever changing dance. It also reflects the flow of the planet. It's like riding a wave - you just have to be there in the moment and I think that's what my sculptures do. They just allow the viewer to release and relax and get outside their stressful little worlds."

Kinetic sculpture at the BMW Museum (by ART+COM)

Watch in high quality! An amazing display of 714 metal balls on strings. It really gets creative after 1 minute. So please be patient.

The kinetic sculptures that this man creates are absolutely amazing. You do not have to be an art lover to appreciate this kind of art.

From the exhibition Sculpture in Motion at the Atlanta Botanical Garden on view through October 2008 and curated by Brigitte Micmacker from Sculpturesite Gallery. Courtesy the Curator's commentary: "David Fried not only gives life to inanimate objects, he imbues them with anthropomorphic behavioral qualities and elaborate dynamic relationships in his series of clever Self Organizing Still Life (SOS) installations. "His acoustically stimulated interactive sculptures ... are compelling by their symbolically provocative simplicity, creating a live complex visual experience as the viewer is moved to forge perspectives on relationships, life and the universe of thought" , said Prof. Dr. Norbert Bolz foreword in the catalogue of David Fried Solo Exhibition at Neuer Zollhof Düsseldorf, 2001Here Self Organizing Still Life (SOS) Terra Incognita swiftly responds to clapping or other loud sounds by setting in motion seven brightly colored spheres atop a smooth slab of beautifully mottled green granite. The spheres chase each other, collide briskly, or hide shyly in a corner of the roped "corral" and each viewer ineluctably relates these chaotic events to life experiences, while enjoying the constantly evolving abstract compositions."
