Karina Smigla-Bobinski

I would love to go and meet Karina Smigla-Bobinski's interactive 'Ada'. A helium inflated orb armed with charcoal. Karina is a Polish born artist now based in Berlin who works as an intermedia artist with digital and analog media.
Ada was exhibited in Sao Paulo as part of the FILE electrical language festival.
"Once you see her in motion she just works away . . . the blacker she gets from the charcoal and the more she is handled by the visitors, the more she seems to be some kind of alive. Even I who built her, sometimes gets the illusion of her being a living thing." Karina Smigla-Bobinski (thanks)

Roland Roure

With a lovely humour this is the work of French artist Roland Roure, who makes kinetic sculptures and art objects that sing with the joy of life. Childlike and yet sophisticated and beautiful Roland Roure's work will make you smile.

Automata by Cartoonmonster

Wonderful kinetic toys from the  cartoonmonster  Brianne Mees. I love automata's so I was thrilled to find these lovely wave machines, and having watched a film of them moving I am even more enamoured.

Theo Jansen II

I blogged about Theo Jansen, when I first started, the art room, so many of you won't have seen his work here, now I know how to upload videos, here is a wee film of the great man and one of his amazing beach roaming beasts.
