Kinetic and Mechanical Art | Lost Arts

Watch and listen as Brittany Cox, an antiquarian horologist, restores a lost art powered by watch and clock mechanisms inside of it bringing an old machine to life  , video from A Great Big Story.

Creating with a variety of overlapping techniques and styles in any medium that contains movement Kinetic Art or Mechanical Art are terms most often used to refer to three-dimensional sculptures and figures such as mobiles that move naturally or are machine operated.

If you are in the Tri-State area, opening this weekend at the Morris Museum in NJ, A Cache of Kinetic Art: Simply Steampunk, is a showcase exhibit of motion exploring kinetics in contemporary artistic practice that when set in motion, these imaginative works capture the wondrous vision of a world powered by steam-engine technology from a bygone era

Being a huge Steampunk fan, I can't wait to see this Art of Lost Arts!
