Kinetic Art is art that moves, or appears to move. According to novelist Umberto Eco, it is a "form of plastic art which the moevement of forms, colours and planes is the means to obtain a cahnging whole." Altough Kinetic Art came into its own in the 1950s, many artists of the early twentieth century experimented with movement. The main lines of development were provided by Constructivism on the one hand and Dada on the other. The interest in science and technology, which was a part of the Constructivist project, has been a constant theme in Kinetic Art. As early 1919, Viladamir Tatlin designed a building incorporating moving elements and in the same time year fellow Naum Gabo began Kinetic Construction.

Kinetic Construction
Kinetic drawing makes use of the critical balance and creates 3D drawings from various materials. Kinetic means that the object holds energy, kinetic drawings usually are critical in their stability and are eager to find a more stable position, through gravity. From there they are built up again, better and stronger and with a repetition of this process a beauty of its own starts to grow by natural forces.
Red Mobile, Alexander Calder
