Website: http://www.stevehollinger.com / music: youtube lib This video is a rough compilation of sculptures, from 2000 to 2006. All of the kinetic objects in this video draw their energy from the ambient environment -- either solar powered or responding to changes in temperature. The Beaufort Wind Scale (land use specification) Calm: Smoke rises vertically. Light air: Direction of wind shown by smoke drift, but not by wind vanes. Light Breeze: Wind felt on face; leaves rustle; ordinary vanes moved by wind. Gentle Breeze: Leaves and small twigs in constant motion; wind extends light flag. Moderate Breeze: Raises dust and loose paper; small branches are moved. Fresh Breeze: Small trees in leaf begin to sway; crested wavelets form on inland waters. Strong Breeze: Large branches in motion; whistling heard in telegraph wires; umbrellas used with difficulty. Near Gale: Whole trees in motion; inconvenience felt when walking against the wind. Gale: Breaks twigs off trees; generally impedes progress. Severe Gale: Slight structural damage occurs (chimney-pots and slates removed). Storm: Seldom experienced inland; trees uprooted; considerable structural damage occurs. Violent Storm: Very rarely experienced; accompanied by wide-spread damage. Hurricane: Massive damage. *** update: my mac-based safari browser won't submit my comments. for the time being, if you need a response please include e-mail address or drop me a line **** related topics: kinetic sculpture kinetic sculptures heliotrope heat endothermic exothermic heliotropic sculpture sunlight solar energy solar powered solar power temperature ambient energy solar cell solar panel bimetallic bi-metallic alchemy conjurer magic ultraviolet alchemist magician mystery mysteries ambient light ambient heat ambient resonance energy artificial heart jellyfish skeleton cloudcatcher static electricity van de graaf blue heart cenotaph arts artist artwork mutoscope bifringent zoetrope cabinet of curiosities kunstkammern sideshow carnival hi how you doin? midway tarot cards ouija board boston new york paris london munich berlin kiwi tokyo voltaire lisbon stamford cambridge tokyo machu pichu borneo gypsy fortune teller liquid crystal somnabulist france french memory england english america american optical optics parallax stereogram artemesia absinthe wormwood papillon microphotograph microprinting polarize polarity bumberchute prism wavelength camera obscura pinhole photography magnetism gravitation carbon morphology topology levitation aether whiskey snapdragon fiddlehead seaweed autobahn splinter gangrene leprosy cardullos morbier massachusetts institute of technology harvard stanford conjurer voodoo piltdown fiji mermaid carnivore barnum muybridge marey velveeta praxinoscope expressionism max beckman george grosz otto dix murnau nosferatu caligari fritz lang schreck chaney golem sturgeon museum of modern art da vinci antigravity de sade wimshurst spectervision stereo realist kinetiscope houdini cartier bresson toussaud carl jung jungian synchronicity jurassic technology moma louvre biennial venice biennale decordova guggenheim hi dad storm king dia beacon mutter straussian museum of natural history mfa fossil butte wyoming museum of fine arts miami art electron atom neutron pulsar albedo quasar quark photon neutrino ultraviolet infrared maritime show chase gallery whitney jean tinguely marcel duchamp joseph cornell atomic clock nuclear radiation bikini island atoll spiderweb gamma ray x-ray atmospheric polaroid emulsion copper etching glasswork submarine rhesus waxwork metalurgy aerogel nomex albertus seba ernst haeckel mica cantelope jurassic lower cretaceous cambrian precambrian eocene breadcrumbs
