Real life cable control
I follow this really crazy artist on Instagram named Callen Schaub. He has been pursuing his “Fake Art” movement because his work consists primarily of what I used to call spatter art growing up. He spins ginormous canvases and drops paint on them, many times using a pendulum mechanism. This is a really interesting use of cable control to literally make works of art (?!).
The cables below are not necessarily controlling any sort of kinetic mechanism, but I definitely noticed them outside of my apartment window. They are kind of draped hap-hazard and precariously tangled which freaks me out a bit. An interesting cable system for sure…
