Arthur Ganson – Kinetic Sculptures

Arthur Ganson

Arthur Ganson makes some very pretty, very delicate and very thoughtful looking kinetic sculptures. From never-ending trails of chain going through a tube, to very exhausted looking wishbones pulling contraptions along the floor, to seemingly pointless connections of wire cogs, turned by hand.

In particular I’d recommend the high res images in the images section, and the video right at the bottom of the sculpture page that shows how he makes his wire cogs. Lovely stuff. Mechanical, and thus a little bit Steampunk.
