The Kinetic Sculpture created by ART+COM, a digital media design agency in Berlin, Germany, for the BMW Museum in Munich, Germany, is made up of 714 metal spheres individually hanged from a thin steel wire. These spheres are able to move individually vertically by a special mechanism which can be moved in unison to create amazing sculptures in mid air.
Below is a video showing the kinetic sculpture in action with the short description from ART+COM on vimeo.
The "Kinetic Sculpture" metaphorically translates into space the form-finding process of vehicle design. The interplay of mechanical and electronic components creates a dynamic art piece reflecting the precise exchange between a great number of individual elements and the single, coherent picture that emerges from them.
Attached by thin steel wires to individually-controlled stepper motors, 714 metal spheres move up and down, seemingly levitating.
