Contemporary Mobile Sculptures – Expanding Calder’s Art Form – Part 2
This is a continuation in progress (as of 2024) of my previous post Contemporary Mobile Sculptures – Expanding Calder’s Art Form with new mobile sculptures that I’m currently working on:
These are images of 3d models of the mobile sculptures that I’m working on expanding, with the balance point for each part precisely calculated. Each of these mobile sculptures has an interconnected balance structure throughout, just like an Alexander Calder mobile. The balance of each part is determent by the weight of the parts connected to it. This specific mobile sculpture, for example, is made of 51 balanced parts that are connected to each other, resulting in just one suspension point for the whole sculpture:
One of these mobile sculptures here shown with the precisely calculated balance points (103 points in total):
