Such a wonderful encounter during my daily walk. Hope to see a herd soon!
I love Strandbeests.

Pol Bury, belgijski artysta urodzony w 1922 roku, zasłynął jako malarz i rzeźbiarz, który eksperymentował z ruchem i przestrzenią. Jego twórczość kierowała uwagę na zmienność oraz dynamikę form, co uczyniło go jednym z pionierów sztuki kinetycznej. Dziś świętujemy jego rocznicę urodzin! (fot.

Made a trick door under the stairs to get to the basement. Regular door wouldn’t work. Odd size, nothing square, tight space. Used an old window weight from the house and a lever and pulleys to counter balance the door lift, so it will open with finger pressure. Fun and funky, but it works!

Israeli artist Yaakov Agam wins Israel Prize for his kinetic plastic art.

I didn't know anything about him, just love his kinetic cake-shaped Tel-Aviv Fire And Water Fountain.

Die Arbeit „Kinetic Fart (Bewegungspfad Ungestüm)” markiert am Eingang der Ausstellung „Endrohr Apokalypse” den Anfang.
Engelartige Boten schweben im Raum und erzeugen eine liturgische Stimmung zwischen himmlischen Weihrauchwolken und irdischen Auto-Duftbäumen. Als unwegige Beweger fungieren diese programmierten Raumerfrischer wie Zwischenwesen, die zugleich an sakrale Rauchzeichen und an die aromatisierte Gegenwart des Autointerieurs erinnern.
In ihrer schwebenden Unbestimmtheit knüpfen sie an den archetypischen Startpunkt für Ordnungssysteme an, über dem die Frage nach der Stellung des Menschen im Kosmos zwischen Duftwolke, Auspuffästhetik und ritueller Atmosphäre schwebt.

Noch bis zum 18.Januar 2026 in der Ausstellung „Endrohr Apokalypse” im Kunstverein Ingolstadt

Theo Jansen still at it with full force... (life goals!)

...and obligatory re-sharing of some pics of our joint generative design workshop in 2013, incl. Theo's graveyard of older Strandbeests and mechanisms:

Also remembering that already back then he was very worried about the manufacturer discontinuing the specific pipes used as raw materials for these creatures and therefore bought several kilometers of piping as reserve in advance, to future proof his project and not having to potentially recalculate/recalibrate all the designs...

#PSA Since I've just been asked again if I could use more topic-specific accounts and not mix my photography with other topics — Unfortunately, nope! I'm on a single user managed instance and cannot create new accounts on this server nor do I want to create an account for every single topic I'm interested in or posting about. However, you can filter my posts by hashtags, which I'm trying to use consistently (also for my own purposes)...

Maybe I'll pretend I was inspired by Jakob Grosse‑Ophoff's "Humanity"
