Kinetic sculpture at the BMW Museum (audio swap)

[@ripplesouth]

This is an amazing piece of art combined with technology. It tells a story of the history of how auto design has changed from the early 30s and onto today.

[@artsygg]

One of my fav kinetic sculpture! With or without music, this installation is beautiful!

[@miguelguerra1334]

can you show me some more of your favourite? just found this now.

[@VoluptuousB]

This is so entertaining in a relaxing sense! Beautiful, amazing!

[@chivaloca313]

i spoke to the project manager of this project. this took ALOT of work, its really not as easy as u may think. there wasnt a program who can do this, they had to use a brand new program. i personally love this. its a new form of art from engineering. surprising that the string holding each sphere is actually GREEN fishing string... yep, green...

[@Jiggytarmac]

this made me want to stay alive, i would like to compliment, namely, the smoothness of the movements.

[@fretlessbass26]

ki·net·ic --adjective 1. pertaining to motion. 2. caused by motion. 3. characterized by movement: Running and dancing are kinetic activities. because it moves, regardless of how, it is a kinetic sculpture.

[@AgamYou]

@TheOxida Because it does. Many simulare instruments and the same speed as many songs in MS

[@shreaza1210]

truly personifies poetry in motion

[@TheEpicSponge]

I think they should've finished it off by making the balls spell "BMW" that would have been the icing on the cake for me - truly awesome display

[@sliverboy]

Awesome. I wonder when will they be able to move each metal ball in all 3 axes.

[@HigherWaysWoman]

that was really incredible!! I sat mesmerized the entire time. You are truly awesomely & beautifully creative! Thank you so much for sharing your talents w/us!!!

[@seansjhan7550]

amazing. lots of numbers and equations are involved in this pieace.

[@FollowYourArt2]

AMAZING! Truly splendid. What a magnificent piece of art... ...I love it! Does anyone know the name of the music????

[@abuzarqasim1578]

Its Queen of the moon. By Llewellyn. Give me a reply if you are getting the answer of your comment after 8 years😉

[@1chrisdaman1]

the best piece of art i have ever seen! but is it for sale?, if yes where can you buy it? in which sizes is it for sale and for how much?

Uma das peças mais impressionantes do recém inaugurado museu da BMW em Munique é esta escultura cinética do vídeo. A instalação "mecatrônica" é composta por 714 bolas de metal presas por finas cordas, quase invisíveis, que traduzem em formas tridimensionais alguns dos designs clássicos da marca alemã.

[@Karutei]

That's so cool! If you ignore the slight visibility of the wires it looks anti gravity lol

[@makarios21]

@BiAndProud90 I stood and watched it from that angle and it's amazing. It's not the same watching it on the computer.

[@DavidBrowningBYD]

Saw this at BMW-Welt--it's even more hypnotic in person.

[@Biji4444]

This is absolutely beautiful.

[@thosch71]

if this aint art how should be nowadays, i dont know what is. this is really cool!

[@bill2893]

I wonder how long it takes them to untangle when they take it out the box. It's bad enough with 1 string of christmas lights

[@ibenizer]

No its not computer controlled. After the opening of the olympic games in Beijing, BMW hired 800 chinese synchroto puppeteers which are all pulling the strings of these balls from the upper level. Its magnificient! You can see it at 4:08

[@Ikarimalice]

@whatevil actually, the mona lisa is painted on wood :)

[@shizlnit]

@thefrub didn't mean it was photo shopped or fake at all I meant the the programming that went into this for the motors and stuff to set the balls at specific heights

[@spamrobot2]

It's easy to implement and it is so cool to watch. That's genius.

[@ripazhakgggdkp]

its absolutely real, i mean i you somehow go to that place you will see that in real life. the only part where a computer comes in is when it controls the motors to make shapes

[@zech007]

if you look closely the ball are attached to strings

[@smooth_dude_1477]

My father was here

[@jaira83]

I think they can´t be magnetic, you will need such a powerful magnet to do it that every metallic object in the room would be attracted by it. Also, the power of the magnet should be specifically controlled to attract the balls in different ways (they go up and down, so they would move depending on the attraction, like if you could change the gravity and fly if you wanted to). I think there should be some strings

[@330MillionGods]

A dark blue or red background instead of light gray would provide nice contrast

[@doriot543]

Its a masterpiece of art. I wonder if they update the current designs or this is a one time installation. Anyway, I didn't know watching metal balls dancing can be so calming

[@jerryfinsternumber9]

It's okay, although i'm not sure how it is Art and Science (hatem0199 and maeleong2000) cause it's just metal balls on strings that have been programmed by an ordanary computer to move in different patterns. :P

[@redandwhitegroup]

schellwardee could you please be so kind as to tell me a little bit more about the song as I can not seem to find any other information on it, thanks

[@davidmeirionowen2210]

Hows it done

[@KayseePanda]

It may be boring but it's soothing and relaxing.

[@bababacardi]

agree, several car shapes were built/suggested during that ...performance. awesome anyway 6 stars

[@Lexphoto]

Kudos to the artist, this is fantastic.

[@cinj1060]

Beautiful work of art!

[@fusionstar916]

.. read the discription. its hanging on strings, every single one of them are on motors. AND you can see the string.

[@tellket]

Neglected to mention.. Awesome Display!!

[@InkedChick1]

That is engeneering at it's best! It will be the day when u can ride your floating magnatized ball to work.

[@eaptan]

are they tied to the ceiling? pretty amazing!

[@ADDvanced]

Bad thing is it breaks down every few times and costs a lot to repair.

[@pinkrose75]

Went there! the Bmw Musuem.. was awsome.... super high tech and interesting :)

[@clubmidnightsun]

These displays are really fantastic. I recorded the 2 at the Changi Airport in Singapore and put it to music. Search "Sentient Kinetic Copper Rain Sculpture"

[@augustineleudar]

sorry what do you mean "created by the company" ? who was/were the artists ? its fantastic by the way - its a strange day when large corporations produce more interesting artwork than galleries ...

[@deyohn]

@newballin Look to the top of the video and you'll see that they are on the strings.

[@BinaryReader]

you can't see the strings attached?

[@john_cho]

@simianwarthog I agree. It begins with the knowledge to know that this is within an artists' means and ability to carry out the ideas with conviction. Knowing that - is the beginning to unadulterated creativity. Its not that hard - so go at it... see what you can come up with - with conviction - as warthog says. Thanks!

[@forrestofbarnes]

I have a slow connection, and the video stopped at 0:07, but the balls seemed to still be moving!

[@beluvingangel]

wow nice art and nice song!

[@stfubpeps]

kindly let me know how it works in bit detail plz??

[@KORNIumag]

This is incredible...

[@ldx0427]

its very cool, but how to make it 'fly'?

[@Melifaire]

Wow, this is cool. So fluid and stuff...

[@meaningwhat8371]

Hi...very nice. The music is also very nice, what is the name?

[@crookedmouthdj]

Brilliant,that's art!

[@sheebox]

simple.....dynamic......THE WAY ART SHOULD BE

[@heeh2]

Nice, now im off to listen to this album lol

[@rodsster]

how does it works ? i need to build this in my home

[@DVM2BN2014]

"omigosh this is o cool" lol i agree! i want a miniature one of these for my room! hang it from the ceiling, paint the balls w/ glow-in-the-dark paint, sit back and enjoy!

[@hlblade57]

how they can do that only by useing air is amazing

[@iep4b]

@maikeru01 its a sculpture not a computer model

[@VandaVisions]

This was fascinating!

[@mariahhaarstick591]

That is really neat

[@PtAltmVansanTarr]

Is it augmented reality or can you see this with your own naked eyes?

[@Prusinification]

This is so beautiful!

[@spikonaleash]

its wire solid wire you cant see them or something cuz i can see them

[@WillemVanWeeghel]

Beautifull, who created this object? Willem van Weeghel

[@christopherboyle8441]

MKT-Engineering in Maisach ,near Munich, Germany.

[@vampiper]

:) exactly. I loved this. It's really nice to watch.

[@hlblade57]

they cant tangle there are no string a kenetic structure uses air to move it

[@robinvan1983]

Kinetic sculptures don't use motorised parts. usually motion through wind or magnets... just look on youtube for Theo jansen he makes kinetic sculptures

[@rstafford198096]

Stunning, Amazing, etc...

[@hemphavenx12]

@headcrab4 secretely it was the blue man group, they been out of work for awHile.

[@anoniemgangster]

i like it where whas this ??

[@redandwhitegroup]

anyone have any more information on the music?

[@SiberianDiman]

Did somebody knows what music plays here?

[@SusanRoseArt]

Why do some of the above attempt to decinstruct the method and application - can't it simply be viewed as a piece of kinetic sculpture and appreciated in the visual? just .... watch and enjoy .... yes?

[@john_cho]

servo controlled with LED control modules - very easy to do actually -

[@franciscobobadillacastiilo7176]

Sabrán quien la hizo?

[@22twain]

I think 4:13 was an M Roadster.

[@onDishez]

Are those solid balls? What they made of?

[@blackhall24]

its in munich....next to olympic tower munich

[@neemguy81]

So how did they do that without the balls swinging?

[@mrmarsbard3109]

17*42 matrix of balls:) Умиратворяющее и релаксирующее видео.

[@bikeronnie]

I must be simple, i found this fascinating, i'd have one if i could afford one!

[@avikb1991]

How much did it cost

[@metrolead]

this makes me happy

[@Revieirato]

Lindo brilhante projeto combinam tecnologia, arte bom gosto e trabalho. Exemplo de Inteligência criativa bem direcionada

[@evmvb218]

this sculpture is computer generated, is it not?

[@m.piecaitis]

Absolutely great!!! Genius!

[@zwartgeloktgodenzoon]

Who is the inventor of this???

[@PtAltmVansanTarr]

@peterbmw oh, well I don't like luxury cars too much, but if they have art like this im going for sure!

[@bear211]

What, only cars?

[@SuperCuriouss]

Elegant engineering and maths. But if the strings were optic fiber and the balls of glass?

[@IgorLozovskiyUSAUA]

Очень красивая композиция... видео-аудио.

[@megaltright974]

so cool.... but how?

[@guillimemo]

que material es????

[@misobellafi9931]

Now just imagine how breathtaking it would be if we could forgo the strings...
