Arthur Ganson is a kinetic sculptor based in the Boston area. He creates kinetic art with a sense of humor. According to the write up on the MIT Museum site Ganson's "contraptions [are] composed of a range of materials from delicate wire to welded steel and concrete. Most are viewer-activated or driven by electric motors." If you are ever in Boston, a stop at the MIT Museum is always fun. Many of his works are on display there. (Be sure to get good directions because it is a challenging building to find!)

Both his YouTube page and his website have a lot of great examples of his work. Check out his work and leave a comment here letting us know what you think. Don't forget to comment on the artist's page also!

Comments

I've admired Arthur Ganson's work since stumbling upon his TED Talk. Some of the pieces communicate real emotion that goes beyond ingenuity. While I haven't seen his work in person, I wonder if the way he films the pieces enhances the affect of the work by imposing a narrative on the presentation. Even so, it is remarkable. 
 
BTW, I really enjoy your work as well! Hypnotic and elegant. That you've managed to make a living doing what you do is all the more impressive!
