The traditional thinking around a sculpture involves something that is static and that stands in one place as a symbol of permanence, a snapshot of a pivotal moment of creativity. We use sculpture to reflect our values and allow others—many years into the future—to reminisce, study, and be inspired by our creations.
Kinetic sculpture accomplishes all of that while also incorporating movement. What may at first come across as an oxymoron, kinetic sculpture really brings us closer to the original forms of art: nature, animals, and the human form.
How Does Kinetic Sculpture Work?
There are so many different forms of kinetic sculpture, the genre can be a challenge to categorize. However, kinetic sculpture amounts to sculpture that incorporates kinetic energy, or movement. Most art has “movement” in the way shapes, colors and perspectives interact, but kinetic art sculpture uses literal kinetic energy as part of the creative expression.
Some kinetic art sculpture can be found in museums where the installment either uses potential energy to start a kinetic process or patrons can begin it themselves as they interact with the art. On the other hand, kinetic sculpture can be brought right to your back yard—or front yard—and use only the natural forces of nature to bring the installment to life.
How Wind Augments Kinetic Sculpture
The kinetic energy of air molecules moved by the wind is the primary tool for energy needed to power sculptures designed for our properties. As the air travels across and through the sculpture, it is caught or channeled through an element that works like a moving sail. As the air hits this feature of the sculpture, its energy is transferred to the sculpture, and voila: moving art.
In this way, kinetic art sculpture brings the forces of nature into harmony with the human experience. When we take advantage of kinetic wind sculpture that’s for sale, something like wind that is often a barely tangible aspect of our lives becomes not just tangible, but a partner in the genesis of beauty. The sale of kinetic art sculpture therefore brings us into touch with nature on a meaningful—even visceral—level.
