Kinetica Art Fair

Kinetica Art Fair was a major influence in our work last year and helped introduce us to the technology involved in our projects, I went again this year with a much better understanding of the type of work involved and the problems with it. I am much more sure of the work I like and the work I dislike now, a lot of the work proved to be more of a spectacle than interesting but there were some standout pieces that really I really enjoyed.

All these pieces were particularly relevant to the work we are doing in some way, Nik Ramage's boot kicking the wall piece is really similar in style and nature to one of the machines we had planned... although ours will be kicking a bucket of reflective water with a microphone submerged but it is a good reference point visually. Other work involving projections and extravagant movement were also useful to check out / evaluate mechanisms and methods. I will research the artists that proved most relevent to our project in more depth from Kinetica to contextualise our own work further.
