Motion, Duration, and Illumination.
I absolutely love that we get to learn about this, but I really wish that we could be engaged in it! Just food for thought.
I was absolutely intrigued that this section mainly consisted of pictures, but that's more a Que to talk about them more. :)
Anyway, right straight off the bat I was interested in Naum Gabo's "Standing Wave" Kinetic Construct.
This immediate caught my eye cause well, Metal. AND that is exactly how it looks when you "twirl" a metal stick in the air or on the ground. Especially interesting for having a kinetic sculpture in such an early part of the technology age (talking the early 1900's)
Page 62 shows one of the most well-known kinetic sculptures. This sculpture is not only just a sculpture but a kinetic, cybernetic, robotic, constructive, responsive sculpture. Now that's amazing!!
"The Cysp" was/is a very well known piece of art by Nicolas Schoffer. This piece of art traveled the world, and became the first large exhibition of computer art in the United States. This piece of art is so popular I have seen it since elementary school and I now know what it does and what it has done. Cause, it said that it was responsive so therefore to find out how I looked it up on youtube and watched a few videos that showed about the piece.
Quite Interesting.
