Find here quite a few different pictures and videos of
rolling ball sculptures, kinematic art, and mechanical art.
Most
pictures can be clicked to get a much larger version, and if you like,
rolling ball sculpture video of most RBS's, too. C’mon on in and enjoy!
Watch with wonder as the mesmerizing movement of colored marbles
cycle through, and change patterns within these ever moving sculptures.
Having a motorized, automatic marble lift gives these sculptures a heart
beat.
This is rolling ball sculpture and kinematic wall art!
The ball lift's mechanical energy is transferred to a rhythmic and
synchronized, yet scattered and chaotic colorful mix of moving marbles.
The effect makes tracking marbles more fun and entertaining! This is what kinetic art is supposed to be.
Rolling Ball
Sculpture, simply put, is a roller-coaster made just for a rolling ball. A
two rail track twists and turns its way around, through, under and
sometimes over any number of elements and surprises. The marble is the
only power needed to motivate and animate these fun, living, pulsing
pieces of kinetic wire art.
All of my kinematic art sculptures are
unique and completely hand crafted. I spend many hours bending each curve,
and swerve by hand, then making precise and durable welds. Its stainless
steel construction is strong, and will not rust or tarnish. I bank all of
my corners, using gravity and the rules of relativity to keep the marbles
on the track. This keeps the sculpture uncluttered with unnecessary wire.
I build Rolling Ball Sculptures for the table top, to stand on the floor,
or hang on the wall.
