Kinetic art is art from any medium that contains movement perceivable by the viewer or depends on motion for its effect. Developing a collaborative piece using cause and effect to travel a golf ball from one end to another. using primary cardboard construction.

Looking up the history of kinetic art and the definition.

This Too Shall Pass - Rube Goldberg Machine - Official Video
Looking at the different components used to create the video following the bowling ball form on destination to the next. I liked the use of colour and the grandeur of the whole thing. It helped me with figuring out ideas and different ways of travel

Interested in the absurdity of the design to complete a simple everyday task

Frustrating by design, fun by implementation, this session has attendees work in teams to ‘build a working machine’ using supplied materials. Groups are split in teams responsible for their specific zones of the machine and each zone must ensure a linear ‘transfer of energy’ from one zone to the next, whether it’s a ball rolling or a bucket swinging; all with no human intervention.

I believe the most beneficial learning throughout this workshop was the peer work. Myself and Fergal where given the grande finish . To create an end result  to this Goldberg Machine. Cooperating and sharing ideas to create a target and design the individual elements. We decided to make a cup of tea.

Designing dominoes that went up in size by one cm each time. mapping out their arrangement and dividing the work in half.

The grid we created to then fold into our dominoes. We scored the cardboard before folding with the back of a blade to insure a smooth edge. Then filled with sugar to allow them to stand upright and have weight to knock the next down.

I decided to make another element to make the finish more complete by dropping a tea bag into a cup. I adapted my final domino to have a shark like fin to knock over the leaver containing the teabag.

Created this upright leaver with a hinge at the bottom to allow it to guide the tea bag into the cup.

The golf ball started in Antony's sculpture where it is lowered down into Raffella's tower where it spirals down into our bamboo track guiding it to our dominoes knocking the teabag into the cup and turning on the kettle. I feel a project like this needs time to for construction individually and also time putting it together. If we had more time it may have ran smoother.

Trudie decided to make her section a series of cogs which would allow the ball to rotate and land down into a shoot. It is obvious she had spent time working out all the elements of how her piece was going to work and her use of colour in her drawings help your eyes follow the different parts role. This mapping /drawing plan is something I would like to use in the future.

Ciara sculpture consisted of a large cone to capture the ball then an angular tunnel that would allow the ball to exit. I liked her treatment of the materials. She sliced the cardboard to make it more pliable, coiling it around into a cone shape. Her use of folds in the acetate where well considered and gave her sculpture an angular aesthetic.

He always enjoy figuring out the inner workings of mechanical machines and this inspired his making of these kinetic sculptures from discarded industrial scraps. I was interested in his use of colour and lighting two components I feel would have benefited our sculpture had we more time.

Joep Frens, the 2014 Nierenberg Chair at Carnegie Mellon
University's School of Design, walks us through his class, Cardboard
Modeling, and the Rube Goldberg Machine.

This design made me think more carefully about cardboard construction and the benefits it has in the design industry. It also made me aware of the human interaction element and the importance of that participation. The machine created really widened my mind as to what is possible and what one could do with a bit more preparation. I quite like the plain white card asthetic.
