Diana Daley's aTi 2015 Kinetic Scuplture Scholarship Report
1.
2. • How can your group create a Rube
Goldberg/Kinetic Sculpture using at least 5 of the
6 simple machines to design a sculpture where
the end product will create a noise?
• What types of materials can be used to design
and create kinetic sculptures?
• How do kinetic sculptures and sculptors create
works of art that impact society for today or for
generations?
• What will inspire ideas for your design: elements
of nature, science, sports, music, etc?
3. What is Kinetic Sculpture?
• Kinetic – of or relating to, or resulting from
motion
• In art, depending on movement for its effect
• Kinetic art is a term that today most often
refers to three-dimensional sculptures and
figures such as mobiles that move naturally or
are machine operated. The moving parts are
generally powered by wind, a motor or the
observer
4. Time to Observe
• As we look at videos and short
biographies on kinetic sculptors,
think how their work impacts
what you think about art?
• How will you design your kinetic
sculpture?
• Your sculptor will be sketched and
planned begin you start building.
• Use your imagination and have
fun with it!
• Design Problem: Create a Rube
Goldberg/Kinetic sculpture!!
6. Alexander Calder
1898-1976
• Circus magic in two suitcases create an amazing
sculpture
• Open air radical sculptures for his time
• His work was on display at the Whitney Museum
2008-2009
• The video clip is Calder performing “Circus” in
1955 for a Jean Painleve film
7. George Rickey 1907- 2002
• Born in South Bend, Indiana but raised in Glasgow,
Scotland
• As a young child he was interested in the window latches
that later became integrated in many of his works
• During WWII he served in the Army Air Corps
• Under the GI bill (1948-1949) he studied at the Institute
of Design in Chicago where his love of kinetic sculpture
developed, which was strongly influenced by Alexander
Calder
• Over the next three decades he developed sculpture
with parts made of lines, planes, rotors, volumes, and
churns, moving in paths that change from simple
oscillation to conical gyrations
9. Jean Tinguely
1925-1991
• Swiss sculptor that has an apprenticeship as a window
shop decorator in 1940
• In 1944 he created movement in space with machine
like sculptures that spun with electirc motors at high
speeds
• His most famous sculpted machines known as
“Metamatics”
• His sculptures are known to self-destruct
• In 1966, “The Machine” was exhibited at MoMa
• It is said that Tinguely’s works conquered “The World”

11. • Visual artist that still lives and works in Germany
• After WWII, many Germans would not speak
German because they were hated, therefore they
spoke French or English.
• Because of the hatred of Germans, Rebecca’s
governess taught her drawing which she loved
because, “I did not have to draw in German,
French or English. I could just draw.”
• In 1968 Rebecca produced her first body
sculpture

13. Theo Jansen 1948 -
• Dutch artist that began building large
mechanisms from PVC that are able to move
on their own
• His work uses engineering and animation
• Famous sculptures is “Strandbeast”, structures
seem to be “alive” as they roam around
15. • American kinetic sculptor that currently lives
in rural Washington state
• Wind driven sculptures created from metal
resembling pulsing alien creatures and
vortices
• Uses a plasma cutter on aluminum, copper,
stainless steel and brass.
Anthony Howe 1954-
16.
17. Arthur Ganson
• American kinetic sculptor born in 1955
• Creates moving art and Rube Goldberg
machines
• His work is showcased in science museums
and art galleries
• Inventor of the Toobers and Zots and co-
founder of HandsOnToys
20. Tim Hawkinson 1960 -
• Currently lives in San Francisco
• Since the 1980’s, Tim has used common found
and store bought materials, hand-crafted
objects and machines to create kinetic
sculptures
• His sculptures range in size from microscopic
to monumental
22. Ben Pranger
• Ben Pranger is an artist of kinetic
sculpture
• He has received grants, fellowships and
residences for his work since 1994
through today
• His goal is to bring kinetic sculpture to
students in elementary, middle and high
school as well as educating teachers in
this art form
• Currently, Ben works with schools in NJ to
create kinetic sculptures
