“Sculptor and engineer Arthur Ganson talks about his work — kinetic art that explores deep philosophical ideas and is gee-whiz fun to look at.”
Thanks Youtube for 1000s of samples online, just search for “moving sculptures”, “Kinetic Sculptures” or “Kinetica Art”: click here for basic ones
These can be made for a store front-end to attract shoppers’ attention.
I like this simple one, the background can be made by a stain cloth print with a ligh source at back, a basic rotating motor and the design is not difficult: Kinetic art moving sculptures
Kinetic object with 32 independently moving lines. Controlled by an integrated computersystem. The video shows some of the constantly changing ordered and random structures that appear and disappear. Dimensions: 4.20m X 2.80m Kinetic Art - Dynamic Structure
An amazing display of 714 metal balls on strings. It really gets creative after 1 minute. So please be patient. BMW Museum
Squaring the square is the problem of tiling an integral square using only other integral squares. Squaring the square is an easy task unless additional conditions are set. The most studied restriction is that the squaring be perfect, meaning that the sizes of the smaller squares are all different. read wiki article…
When designing collages using sqaure photos we may use some of these solutions, below you will see some popular designs:
Perfect squared squares:
Smith diagram of a rectangle, A “perfect” squared square is a square such that each of the smaller squares has a different size.
Simple squared squares:
Mrs. Perkins’s Quilt:
A Mrs. Perkins’s quilt is a dissection of a square of side n into a number of smaller squares.
Finally after almost two years we found some time to make a sign for our production center, it has been built only by used material except the red paint, now we are a professional Vancouver 3D sign maker!
The difference between the design and final product is better than the pictures in following Modelling Quality article: Modelling Quality
I am not sure the parents and the gallery owner should receive the top awards for marketing ideas or the four years old kid! for her work or both but below is the story and the video:
“Artist Aelita Andre might only be four years old, but that has not stopped her opening her first art exhibition in New York.She is said to be the youngest ever professional artist with nine of her paintings on show at the Agora Gallery, in Manhatten, already selling, with pieces priced up to $9,900 each.
Angela Di Bello, the director at the gallery, said Aelita had already developed a style of her own.Her parents, Nikka Kalashnikova and Michael Andre, who are also artists, both agree that their daughter’s art has an innocence to it.”
“Iranian-born artist Shirin Neshat explores the paradox of being an artist in exile: a voice for her people, but unable to go home. In her work, she explores Iran pre- and post-Islamic Revolution, tracing political and societal change through powerful images of women.”
Collaborative Painting can be done online or on site, webcanvas.com is a sample of online web sites that allow anyone around the world paint and save their drawing on a virtual canvas:
“Tunisian Collaborative Painting is an art form developed in Tunisia in the mid-1980s. It is unique in its method of allowing a group of painters to work simultaneously on a canvas without discussion or planning beforehand. The result is a large painting created by a group of individuals that nevertheless looks like it was executed by a single artist.”
Most probably the same collaboration ideas are done for other forms of art like Collaborative sculptures, Collaborative singing! ,acting, dancing and more, and hope one day the on-site and online will be mixed together in real time specially for the paintings.
Do you know any Vancouver Collaborative Painters or projects, we would like to hear from them.
It is amazing that how new media and technology and in this case YouTube canhelp us make ideas happen. In a moving and madly viral video, composer Eric Whitacre led a virtual choir of singers from around the world. He talks through the creative challenges of making music powered by YouTube:

It was Oscar time and this metamorph / Faceshifting effect was interesting to me:
Interested in Shapeshifting concept ,read the wiki article:
“Shapeshifting is a common theme in mythology and folklore as well as in science fiction and fantasy. In its broadest sense, it is when a being has the ability to alter its physical appearance. The transformation may be purposeful or not, depending on whether it has been the subject of a curse or spell. In some folklore, once the shapeshifter has become transformed, it becomes progressively more difficult for it to return to its original form.” Physical Shapeshifting
Researchers are developing a specialized skin “printing” system that could be used in the future to rebuild damaged or burned skin.
“We started out by taking a typical desktop inkjet cartridge. Instead of ink we use cells, which are placed in the cartridge,” said Dr. Anthony Atala, director of the institute.
Hope once completely developed we Canadian art printers can print directly on skin instead of canvas, or tattoo people use this system to reduce the pain when tattooing!

Explore museums from around the world, discover and view hundreds of artworks at incredible zoom levels, and even create and share your own collection of masterpieces. Google is bringing its “street view” technology indoors. With the announcement Tuesday in London of the Google Art Project, the Internet giant jumps into the online art arena with tools that will allow Web surfers to move through 17 of the most prominent art galleries in the world, with the option to look more closely at individual artworks, including some that will be digitized so exhaustively that individual paint strokes and hairline cracks in the surface will be visible.
