Kinetics Sculpture "Forces"



Our focus was diverted almost entirely towards to achieving the proper function of our kinetic sculpture. This function being the orbital movement of metal shavings through rotating magnets. We decided against constraining ourselves and thus our audience to a particular aesthetic sense. To attempt to govern interpretation of art, especially something as subjective and variable as in the realm of three dimensional movement, is an exercise in futility.

From the now detached point of view of an onlooker, I have decided what "Forces" suggests to me: An equalizing, unifying statement on the chaotic forces of the universe, traceable from the wild vectors of charged particles to the ancient spirals of clockwork galaxies. Lauren prefers to view "Forces" as an intimate portrait of Time itself; a tangible link to intangible forces.
