Kinetika II by Aviv Shany from spain

Kinetica experiments with perception by creating objects that transgress expectations, which surprises people and forces them to cognitively engage with the pieces. Wooden objects are usually associated with qualities such as strength and constancy but Kinetica aims to challenge these preconceptions. The cuts reduce the previously static mass and at the same time transforms it by adding movement and dynamism. Repetitive movements and patterns are known to aid relaxation, the objects are meant to stimulate feelings of tranquility and peacefulness from viewers and users.

Kinetica tries to elicit the possibilities from an organic element, to peel away the conventional categorisation and reveal that which is hidden within. All the pieces are transformed and an attempt is made to make this transition part of their intrinsic nature.
There is a constant challenge to the conventional boundaries of art and design, creating an anarchic discipline. The work is transformative.
The users find themselves surprised and serene, which is the signature combination of the works.
Kinetika applied as sculptures:
Stanley is about contrast. It is square, solid, imposing, and has megalithic connotations. It appears to be static but it is flexible. It has a small motor which moves the whole piece and makes a repetitive wooden clicking sound. This is soothing like the ticking of a great clock.
Pico is about a contrast between the shape and strength of a stone and the light movement of a spring. One is finite while the other has tension. Flock inspired by animals running together. The strength of the plural.It is dematerialized by cuts, Mona @ Maki appear to be a modern relic.
All cut by hand.
