This project involves designing, fabricating, and programming a kinetic sculpture that demonstrates continuous, compelling motion. The tangible outcome is a self-contained mechanical and electronic art piece that exhibits fluid or surprising movement, powered by integrated electronics, and perhaps responding to its environment. This project serves as a concrete manifestation of integrated design thinking—where artistic vision meets practical engineering constraints. It demonstrates mastery of electromechanical principles, precise fabrication, and creative problem-solving.
This endeavor is ideal for individuals who enjoy merging analytical challenges with artistic expression, possess a curiosity for how things move, and thrive in hands-on environments where abstract ideas are made manifest.
