or mathematically precise kinetic sculpture and transformable object?
it was designed and made
by John
Edmark, his kinetic sculptures rely on
excruciatingly precise laser-cut wood and internal mechanisms to create optical
illusions and other unexpected behaviours, Edmark describes these as 'instruments that amplify our awareness of the sometimes tenuous relationship
between facts and perception', if you have some time you can see many more on his Vimeo page, for
me the Incremental TransTower is
fascinating, each layer rotates slightly
faster than the layer beneath it, there are 32 layers in this tower, so the top
layer must make 32 complete revolutions before the tower returns to the same
state, the internal mechanism designed and
fabricated by Paul Stepahin.
