Research on the Matrix Kinetic Sculpture

Abstract:

This paper first analyzed the development of Kinetic Sculpture, then proposed the new concept of the Matrix Kinetic Sculpture. By introducing two typical works of the Matrix Kinetic Sculpture, the paper summarized the unique characteristic forms. The paper researched the technology realization of the Matrix Kinetic Sculpture according to one typical case, including the distributed control system and the lifting mechanism. Basing on the Fluid Dynamics theory, the Shallow Water Equations has been applied to the feature design of the Matrix Kinetic Sculpture to enhance its beauty of moving shape. Finally the paper came up with several suggestions for the innovation of Matrix Kinetic Sculpture.
