Did I just divide by 0?]]>Jul 21st 2010 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/kinetic-wall-sculptures-are-impossible-to-look-away-from-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/kinetic-wall-sculptures-are-impossible-to-look-away-from-video/
Naw, you just took the limit as look approaches zero. ]]>Jul 21st 2010 12:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/kinetic-wall-sculptures-are-impossible-to-look-away-from-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/kinetic-wall-sculptures-are-impossible-to-look-away-from-video/
Though, these are pretty awesome. :o
I wonder how much one would cost?]]>Jul 21st 2010 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/kinetic-wall-sculptures-are-impossible-to-look-away-from-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/kinetic-wall-sculptures-are-impossible-to-look-away-from-video/
That's one kind of kinetic sculpture, called mobiles. Really, though, any sculpture that moves is a kinetic sculpture. Some non-mobile kinetic sculptures of note include:

Marcel Duchamp's Bicycle Wheel http://www.moma.org/collection/browse_results.php?object_id=81631
Shab Levy's Gravitrams (a whole series) http://www.djspyhunter.com/blog/2006/08/15/gravitram-kinetic-sculptures/
And the moving spheres at the BMW museum http://www.pixelsumo.com/post/bmw-kinetic-sculpture

Bicycle Wheel isn't powered at all (an observer needs to move it), the Gravitrams have motors that lift the balls from the bottom of the track to the top, and the BMW piece has individual motors that move each sphere up or down depending on the shape they want to achieve. Super frickin' cool.]]>Jul 21st 2010 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/kinetic-wall-sculptures-are-impossible-to-look-away-from-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/kinetic-wall-sculptures-are-impossible-to-look-away-from-video/Jul 21st 2010 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/kinetic-wall-sculptures-are-impossible-to-look-away-from-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/kinetic-wall-sculptures-are-impossible-to-look-away-from-video/Umm...its Kinetic, not Kinect...FAIL]]>Jul 21st 2010 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/kinetic-wall-sculptures-are-impossible-to-look-away-from-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/kinetic-wall-sculptures-are-impossible-to-look-away-from-video/Jul 21st 2010 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/kinetic-wall-sculptures-are-impossible-to-look-away-from-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/kinetic-wall-sculptures-are-impossible-to-look-away-from-video/Jul 21st 2010 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/kinetic-wall-sculptures-are-impossible-to-look-away-from-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/kinetic-wall-sculptures-are-impossible-to-look-away-from-video/I second that - it's great work but someone buy the dude a tripod!]]>Jul 21st 2010 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/kinetic-wall-sculptures-are-impossible-to-look-away-from-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/kinetic-wall-sculptures-are-impossible-to-look-away-from-video/Jul 21st 2010 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/kinetic-wall-sculptures-are-impossible-to-look-away-from-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/kinetic-wall-sculptures-are-impossible-to-look-away-from-video/Jul 21st 2010 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/kinetic-wall-sculptures-are-impossible-to-look-away-from-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/kinetic-wall-sculptures-are-impossible-to-look-away-from-video/Jul 21st 2010 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/kinetic-wall-sculptures-are-impossible-to-look-away-from-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/kinetic-wall-sculptures-are-impossible-to-look-away-from-video/Jul 21st 2010 12:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/kinetic-wall-sculptures-are-impossible-to-look-away-from-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/kinetic-wall-sculptures-are-impossible-to-look-away-from-video/Jul 21st 2010 1:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/kinetic-wall-sculptures-are-impossible-to-look-away-from-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/kinetic-wall-sculptures-are-impossible-to-look-away-from-video/
