Drawing on the Air
In the New York Times Michael Kimmelman called them "sleek, whimsical contraptions in a modernist mode"; the Basler Zeitung termed them "net-like structures . . . like hedgehogs or serpents." The kinetic sculptures of Tim Prentice create a novel geometry of air and light. Concentrating on movement rather than object, Prentice harnesses natural elements into his art machines-delicate structures that walk the tightrope between order and chaos, control and serendipity, understated technique and extravagant wonder. Prentice purposely circumscribes the artist's prerogatives, distilling the power of wind and sun into an ever-changing dance of light and shadow. These understated, subtle inventions ...
Kinetic Flying Sculptures
This is a book of flying kinetic sculptures by Ondrej Mitas. These works are not models of things that fly, but rather models of flight itself. The book describes why and how they are made, how they fly, and the counterintuitive reactions they spark in people. Beautiful photos show the works in their full complexity and diversity. It is essential for any good collection of books about innovative 21st century artists, kinetic sculpture, aviation, or flight.

Get Your Move On! In Making Things Move: DIY Mechanisms for Inventors, Hobbyists, and Artists, you'll learn how to successfully build moving mechanisms through non-technical explanations, examples, and do-it-yourself projects--from kinetic art installations to creative toys to energy-harvesting devices. Photographs, illustrations, screen shots, and images of 3D models are included for each project. This unique resource emphasizes using off-the-shelf components, readily available materials, and accessible fabrication techniques. Simple projects give you hands-on practice applying the skills covered in each chapter, and more complex projects at the end of the book incorporate topics from multi...
Take Flight, a Kinetic Art Project
Clearly illustrated guide to build a balanced kinetic sculpture, of birch plywood and stainless steel, that glides around slowly with the motion of ambient air in a room. · Clear instructions and material selection guide · Traceable full scale templates with matchlines · Examples of steaming and bending plywood · Illustrations of forming steel rod and balancing tips · Great project for individuals or parent & child teams · Educational, challenging, inspiring and fun to build "This is a wonderful parent & child project or just to make it for yourself or as a gift. The hands-on experience of making the sculpture and understanding the physics in balancing it just right is rewarding in itself. Another reward is the finished product: A gliding conversation piece taking flight on the air."
Movement, Time, Technology, and Art
This book explores the ways in which artists use technology to create different perceptions of time in art in order to reflect on contemporary relationships to technology. By considering the links between technology, movement and contemporary art, the book explores changing relationship between temporality in art, art history, media art theory, modernity, contemporary art, and digital art. This book challenges the dominant view that kinetic art is an antiquated artistic experiment and considers the changing perception of kinetic art by focusing on exhibitions and institutions that have recently challenged the notion of kinetic art as a marginalised and forgotten artistic experiment with mech...
