Arthur Ganson's Machines / Kinetic Sculpture. Nemo Gould | The Kinetic, Found Object Sculpture of artist Nemo Gould. Jean Tinguely. The Tinguely Fountain in front of the Tinguely Museum in Basel Jean Tinguely (22 May 1925 – 30 August 1991) was a Swiss painter and sculptor. He is best known for his sculptural machines or kinetic art, in the Dada tradition; known officially as metamechanics.
Tinguely's art satirized the mindless overproduction of material goods in advanced industrial society. Life[edit] Tinguely grew up in Basel, but moved to France in 1952 with his first wife Swiss artist Eva Aeppli,[1] to pursue a career in art. His best-known work, a self-destroying sculpture titled Homage to New York (1960), only partially self-destructed at the Museum of Modern Art, New York City, although his later work, Study for an End of the World No. 2 (1962), detonated successfully in front of an audience gathered in the desert outside Las Vegas. Tinguely married fellow Swiss artist Eva Aeppli in 1951. Public works[edit] Noise music recordings[edit] Influence on others[edit] See also[edit] Further reading[edit] References[edit] Theo Jansen.
Theo Jansen (born 1948) is a Dutch artist. In 1990, he began what he is known for today: building large mechanisms out of PVC that are able to move on their own, known only as Strandbeest. His animated works are a fusion of art and engineering; in a car company (BMW) television commercial Jansen says: "The walls between art and engineering exist only in our minds. " He strives to equip his creations with their own artificial intelligence so they can avoid obstacles by changing course when one is detected, such as the sea itself. Early life[edit] Jansen was born in 1948, in Scheveningen in the Netherlands.
He grew up with a knack for both physics and art, and studied physics at the University of Delft. Before the Strandbeest: a UFO[edit] Before Jansen began his life's work, of building mechanical animals out of PVC, he undertook a project that would inspire him to use PVC on other projects. Before the Strandbeest: a painting machine[edit] The Strandbeest[edit] According to his website: Chuck Hoberman. Hoberman (right) speaking with MIT design professor Neri Oxman Chuck Hoberman (born 1956 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, US) is an artist, engineer, architect, and inventor of folding toys and structures, most notably the Hoberman sphere. Early life and education[edit] Hoberman's father was an architect, and his mother was a children's book author.[1] He wanted to be an artist from an early age, doing drawing and painting, and eventually taking courses at Cooper Union in New York City.
He studied liberal arts at Brown University, and went on to earn a bachelor's degree in sculpture from Cooper Union in 1979, and a master's degree in engineering from Columbia University. Temporary and permanent installations[edit] The largest Hoberman sphere is displayed at Liberty Science Center in Jersey City, New Jersey, in an atrium where it periodically contracts and then expands to a diameter of 18 feet (5.5 m). Toys[edit] Business[edit] In 1990, he formed Hoberman Associates. Teaching[edit] References[edit] Frederick Rowland Emett. Visivision Machine, one of the "Things" created by Rowland Emett Frederick Rowland Emett (22 October 1906 – 13 November 1990) OBE, known as Rowland Emett (with the forename sometimes spelled "Roland" [as his middle name appears on his birth certificate] and the surname frequently misspelled "Emmett"), was an English cartoonist and constructor of whimsical kinetic sculpture.
Early life[edit] Emett was born in New Southgate, London, the son of a businessman and amateur inventor, and the grandson of Queen Victoria's engraver. He was educated at Waverley Grammar School in Birmingham, where he excelled in drawing, caricaturing his teachers and vehicles and machinery. When he was only 14 he took out a patent on a gramophone volume control. Later work[edit] An otherwise undistinguished career was interrupted by World War II, when he worked as a draughtsman for the Air Ministry while perfecting his gift for drawing cartoons. In 1978 he was awarded an OBE Exhibitions[edit] Rowland Emett Society[edit] KMODDL - Kinematic Models for Design Digital Library.
FOUNDATION | LIFE | PHOTOBIOGRAPHY. Naum Gabo. Early life[edit] Gabo grew up in a Jewish family of six children in the provincial Russian town of Bryansk, where his father owned a factory. His older brother was fellow Constructivist artist Antoine Pevsner; Gabo changed his name to avoid confusion with him. Gabo was a fluent speaker and writer of German, French, and English in addition to his native Russian. His command of several languages contributed greatly to his mobility during his career. “As in thought, so in feeling, a vague communication is no communication at all," Gabo once remarked. After school in Kursk, Gabo entered Munich University in 1910, first studying medicine, then the natural sciences, and attended art history lectures by Heinrich Wölfflin.
In 1912 Gabo transferred to an engineering school in Munich where he discovered abstract art and met Wassily Kandinsky and in 1913-14 joined his brother Antoine (who by then was an established painter) in Paris.

The Demented Dollhouses of Marc Giai-Miniet. Home > Art > The Demented Dollhouses of Marc Giai-Miniet By Charlie Hintz on March 27, 2012 French painter Marc Giai-Miniet started creating these disturbing shadowbox dioramas rather late in his career.
He painstakingly crafts each nightmarish dollhouse with painstakingly detailed existential metaphors, creating a strangely familiar yet surreal and creepy miniature environment. Recurring themes include libraries, furnaces, laboratories, submarines and intestine-like tubing in lonely, decaying spaces.
