kinetic art

ChronoZenⓇ coming soon.  Early prototype shown here.

 

This is ChronoZenⓇ (shelf version). It's a kinetic art clock concept that presents an ever-changing performance of color and motion while keeping time. This is a follow-on to my first project ChronoSplash which was a larger wall-mounted tank containing water and an acrylic clockwork. Both pieces have the 3 elements I think are worth pursuing:

1) The beauty of motion

2) Perpetual

3) Random

The moving part of ChronoZen has a Complication and Clockwork section fitted together. These drop onto the base which also contains magnets, sensors, and drive wheels to turn it once-per-minute. The Complication section can contain anything that moves in an interesting way (the video shows an experiment with mineral oil and colored water and also just glitter sand).
