Strandbeest Evolution 2025

20. November 2025 um 13:02 Uhr von Ronny

Theo Jansen’s Strandbeests waren schon immer beindruckend faszinierend. Das hat sich auch 2025 nicht geändert. Hier ein Update.

Strandbeest Evolution 2025 provides an update on the evolutionary development, which is going on since 1990.. Every spring I go to the beach with a new beast. During the summer I do all kinds of experiments with the wind, sand and water. In the fall I grew a bit wiser about how these beasts can survive the circumstances on the beach. At that point I declare them extinct and they go to the bone yard.

Eine Welle als kinetische Installation

11. Juni 2025 um 9:58 Uhr von Ronny

Cadence ist eine wunderschöne Installation des Künstlers Reuben Margolin und wurde im letzten Jahr in Oklahoma City gebaut und gezeigt.

This kinetic sculpture is about 11 feet in diameter and was commissioned by Citizen for their new building in downtown Oklahoma City. The nighttime shots are from my studio before I shipped it, and the daytime one is taken right after installation. The lobby is now finished, complete with couches to lounge in, so make sure you stop by if you are in the neighborhood!

The ceiling is 20 feet high and Cadence has a single electric motor which pulls on 216 strings to create a fluid waveform. I tapered the maple links on a lathe. This is the first time I used an open cell hexagonal matrix for the wave and I was really happy with the fluidity of this pattern. Because the links intersect at 120 degrees there is more freedom of movement than in the tumbling block pattern I’ve previously used in other hexagonal arrays. Cadence is nearly silent.

Magnetbänder und Ventilatoren

13. Februar 2025 um 12:06 Uhr von Ronny

Interessante Installation des litauischen Künstlers Zilvinas Kempinas, die aktuell in der La Collection Lambert en Avignon zu sehen ist und die aus Magnetbändern und rotierenden Ventilatoren besteht. Bandsalat auf einem ganz anderen Level.

His work often explores the interplay of space, movement, and perception, using elements like magnetic tape and air currents to challenge traditional notions of sculpture and form.

Currently on display at La Collection Lambert en Avignon until May 25, 2025, Fountain is a mesmerising installation that transforms magnetic tape into a dynamic, fluid-like structure. Set in motion by fans, the tape undulates and shimmers across the ground, creating a hypnotic effect that blurs the boundaries between solid and fluid forms, embodying Kempinas‘ fascination with movement and materiality.

Eine von Hand gefertigte, kinetische Murmelbahn

6. Februar 2025 um 16:48 Uhr von Ronny

Boris Atanasovsk hat 2021 diese sehr eigene, kinetische Murmelbahn entwickelt und von Hand gebaut. Sehr beeindruckend.

The sculpture is named after Karlu Karlu (Devils Marbles is an English name). This Conservation Reserve and one of the oldest religious sites in the world is located in the Northern Territory of Australia in the locality of Warumungu about 105 km (65 mi) south of Tennant Creek, and 393 km (244 mi) north of Alice Springs.

Eine kinetische Installation, bei der Wassertropfen für Licht sorgen

29. Februar 2024 um 8:26 Uhr von Ronny

Sander Hagelaar hat mit seiner Installation „Fluid Current“ ein Gebilde geschaffen, auf dem Wassertropfen für energetischen Fluß sorgen und so kleine Leuchten zum glühen bringen.

The artist and designer explores his practice of challenging conventional notions and reimagining materials, harnessing here elements and movements encompassed within the natural world. With Fluid Current, water, typically considered incompatible with electricity, becomes an integral part of the electric circuit as droplets fall along polished aluminum strips before activating a luminous blue bulb upon impact.

Animaris Rex

2. Oktober 2023 um 10:53 Uhr von Ronny

Neue kinetische Strandlauffigur von Theo Jansen. Schon geil, womit manche Menschen so ihre Zeit verbringen.

Since the beginning of this summer I have been trying to connect several running units (Ordissen) in succession. Animaris Rex is a herd of beach animals whose specimens hold each other as defense against storms. As individuals they would simply blow over, but as a group the chance of surviving a storm would be greater. It is 18 meters long (5 meters longer than the largest Tyrannosaurus Rex found.)
