Kinetic art
Kinetic art is a form of expression in which movement is considered as an integral aesthetic component of the art object. Even when the object seems to change because the viewer is moving (see the artist Carlos Cruz-Diez and below the video of Uli Aschenborn 's female image ) or an illusion fakes movement ( Youri Messen-Jashin ). Therefore, Op Art is considered kinetic art by some viewers.
history
Kinetic art became popular in the 1950s and 1960s. Its premodern origins lie in the mechanical arts and crafts and aesthetic water features of the Baroque era . Its beginnings in modernity can be found in the kinetic objects of light and movement by Marcel Duchamps and Man Rays as well as in the constructivist machines of the artists Wladimir Tatlin , Naum Gabo , Alexander Rodtschenko and László Moholy-Nagy . Some artists, such as Alexander Calder and Jean Tinguely, also work with found materials and objects, thus continuing the concept of the objet trouvé . A continuation of kinetic art is cybernetic art , in which the work of art reacts to external influences, in particular to the manipulation of people (e.g. Nicolas Schöffer's Spatiodynamic Towers ).
The technical constructions are often driven by the natural forces of wind (see mobile ), water and gravity (see marble runs ). But motors (see video of the sculpture by Uli Aschenborn ), clockworks and manual drives are also used. Today's artists of kinetic art are often on the cutting edge of technology, computer-controlled objects are no longer uncommon.
