Behavioral kinetic sculpture
… information processing technologies into kinetic sculpture we are able to explore new methods of interaction. The concepts and experiments presented in this thesis as behavioral kinetic sculpture are the intellectual progeny of cybernetic art as evolved over the last thirty years through …

The Icarus Machine : a kinetic sculpture that demonstrates gyroscopic precision
… whole, I have designed and manufactured a kinetic sculpture that demonstrates gyroscopic precession. The aim of this project is to explore the interplay between two seemingly separate fields, art and engineering, and the effect of their union on perception and learning.

Introduction to kinetic sculpture : a one-week course for middle school students
A one-week course in kinetic sculpture was designed to introduce middle school students to the marriage of art and engineering. Because art can appeal to different sensibilities than engineering alone, it can serve as a means to broaden perspectives of students with different motivations. In light …

AMPHORM : form giving through gestural interaction to shape changing objects
… materials. "Amphorm" is a cylindrical kinetic sculpture that resembles a vase. Since "Amphorm" is a dual citizen between the digital and the physical world, its shape can be altered in both worlds. I describe novel interaction techniques for rapid shape deformation both in the physical …
