The Strandbeest
Artist: Theo Jansen
"Dutch artist Theo Jansen has been working for 16 years to create sculptures that move on their own in eerily lifelike ways. Each generation of his "Strandbeests" is subject to the forces of evolution, with successful forms moving forward into new designs. Jansen's vision and long-term commitment to his wooden menagerie is as fascinating to observe as the beasts themselves.
His newest creatures walk without assistance on the beaches of Holland, powered by wind, captured by gossamer wings that flap and pump air into old lemonade bottles that in turn power the creatures' many plastic spindly legs. The walking sculptures look alive as they move, each leg articulating in such a way that the body is steady and level. They even incorporate primitive logic gates that are used to reverse the machine's direction if it senses dangerous water or loose sand where it might get stuck." -TED
It is an amazing work. I think Jansen has a big success and he should develop further. As the Strandbeest's activity depends on wind, it cannot move in windless days. Windmills can be installed in order to collect wind energy.
Thinking chair
Artist: Arthur Ganson
There is a chair controlled by mechanism, moving around on a rock. I am interested in it because its movement is like an old man walking slowly or an astronaut landing on the moon.
Red Beetle
Artist: Casey Curran
Objects like flowers are settled at specific positions on the board. Each of them connects to the roller through wires. When audience roll the roller, the objects move (e.g. the flowers blossom) Imagine there is a decoration on the wall of your house. That could be admired as a picture but it could be changed manually. It makes the house gorgeous.
Kinetic Rain
Artist:
" In the course of refurbishment works ART+COM was commissioned to create a signature art installation for the Departure-Check-in hall of Terminal 1 at Singapore Airport. “Kinetic Rain” is composed of two parts, each consisting of 608 rain droplets made of lightweight aluminum covered with copper. Suspended from thin steel ropes above the two opposing escalators, each droplet is moved precisely and seemingly floating by a computer-controlled motor hidden in the halls ceiling. The drops follow a 15-minute, computationally designed choreography where the two parts move together in unison, sometimes mirroring, sometimes complementing, and sometimes responding to each other." -ART+COM
The work includes 608 raindrops, uses repetition method to show its rhythm.

Amazing water and sound experiment
Artist: Brusspup
"Run the rubber hose down past the speaker so that the hose touches the speaker. Leave about 1 or 2 inches of the hose hanging past the bottom of the speaker. Secure the hose to the speaker with tape or whatever works best for you. The goal is to make sure the hose is touching the actual speaker so that when the speaker produces sound (vibrates) it will vibrate the hose.
Set up your camera and switch it to 24 fps. The higher the shutter speed the better the results. But also keep in the mind that the higher your shutter speed, the more light you need. Run an audio cable from your computer to the speaker. Set your tone generating software to 24hz and hit play. Turn on the water. Now look through the camera and watch the magic begin. If you want the water to look like it’s moving backward set the frequency to 23hz. If you want to look like it’s moving forward in slow motion set it to 25hz." -Brusspup

You can see it the video that falling water is beautiful. Audience has deep feeling to it looks not like water we used to know. it has special direction and shape like water sculture. I want to apply this technology on my work in the future.
Metropolis II
Artist: Chris Burden
"Metropolis II is a kinetic art installation by Chris Burden featuring 1,200 Hot Wheels. It includes 1,200 custom-designed cars and 18 lanes; 13 toy trains and tracks; and, dotting the landscape, buildings made of wood block, tiles, Legos and Lincoln Logs. Burden estimates that every hour about 100,000 cars circulate the system. " -Colossal
The artwork represents the busy transport network. Transport types, speed of the cars, directions are all selected carefully.
