Kinetic Art
Kinetic Art
Kinetic art: the art of motion. Kinetic art contains a/or several moving parts and depends on motion for its effect. The motion of the art work can be provided in virtually any way. It can be powered by natures elements; wind, wave power from water, or heat from a fire; It can also be powered mechanically through electricity, steam, clockwork using earths natural phenomena’s , gravity, motors, or even through the observer such as cranking a handle, or giving a push. (Kinetic) What does Kinetic mean? Kinetic is a word for energy that comes from motion. Therefore, if someone stated that there was kinetic energy coming from an object, it would mean that the object was in motion. From that definition it is safe to say that kinetic art is moving art. Now don’t mix the thought that kinetic art must always being a physical moving piece. Kinetic art can also be expressed not only through sculpture, but also through drawings, and light. If that drawing you are observing appears to be moving then it is also a form of kinetic art. Kinetic art is so diverse in fact, that you can include almost any form of art into it. Take for example, drawings, Kinetic drawings are usually critical in their stability, but they are always eager to find a more stable position through gravity; 3D drawings are often like this. (Kinetic) You are observing potential motion of the 3D drawing through your observation of the existence of gravity. Meaning, because you know and believe the concept of gravity you apply it to everything you see, consciously or unconsciously, therefore when you see a drawing/ photo, your mind applies that law of gravity and you, the observer can see potential movement, making it a kinetic drawing. This concept also works when you see an art piece that contains an illusion. You know, logically, that the objects on that drawing, painting, photo, etc. Are not physically moving, but your mind applies laws and concepts, that you’ve learned, to the art
