Nature Mobile

Kinetic Sculpture - laser cut acrylic and stepper motor system

Convivial Machines Exhibit at the Museum of Boulder

October 2021 - February 2022

Nature Mobile explores the future relationship between technology, engineering, art, and nature. The organic shapes have been cut from colorful plastic using a laser cutter. Watch how the materials interact with the sunlight. 

Nature has a lot to teach us. Man-made designs are often inspired by nature and the materials come from the earth. Ironically, these nature-influenced processes often hurt it. The solution to our changing climate hangs in the balance of listening to nature and the future of engineering advancements.
