Hovering balls – kinetic sculpture
Designer and creative artist Joachim Sauter made a truly inspiring and amazing artwork for the BMW museum. The artwork consists of 714 metal spheres the can move vertically through small steel wires that are controlled by motors. By adjusting the spheres creative artwork is visualized and Joachim Sauter wanted to display the process of form finding. The animation is seven minutes long starting chaotically and then evolving into finished projects. The artwork can be visited at the BMW museum in Munich.
