To find, you need to know where to look.
Kinetic art is art depends on motion for its effects. The power of human perception from the past and present making futuristic and avant-garde work.
Since the early twentieth century, artists have been incorporating movement into art. Partly to explore the possibilities of movement, but also to introduce the element of time, to reflect the importance of the machine and technology in the modern world, and the last but not least to explore the nature of vision. Canvas paintings that extend the viewer's perspective of the artwork and incorporate multidimensional movement are the earliest examples of kinetic art. This kind of phenomenon likes to experiment with geometric shapes that distort the viewer’s perception, creating artworks which, although static, give the impression of movement.
Not to be boring, kinetic art encompasses a wide variety of overlapping techniques and styles. One of them lies in the fusion of two images designed to blend into one. This new merged image is applied on an accordion profile support. The application of the image on this medium recreate at 45 ° the two original images on both sides. Several other images, in interlacing of the two views, are born by the movement of the spectator around the work. The next, resides in three images, one central and two lateral. The side views are created by lamellae inserted perpendicular to the central image. They offer two distinct images, on both sides at 45 °. This technique allows a variation of perception by the movement and ensures an obvious vision of the central image. The effect of these two complementary techniques is striking, giving the works a living and perpetually renewed aspect.
Movement is not the only element of variation of perception. Indeed, the luminous intensity and the orientation of the light also play on the kinetic effect of the work. Just like the internal passions and emotions of the artist. In the creation by French kinetic master - Patrick Rubinstein we can observe a huge impact of British rock, cinema and American pop. His unquestionable fascination of the movie theatre best reflects the importance of kinetics in today's world. Because with kinetic art is like with love. So many sides - one feeling moving life.
