Kinetic Art Basics: Cardboard Mechanics
Each WTW kinetic sculpture goes through an idea development and trial and error process to get to the final product. This is how new mechanisms are created, run-time is lengthened, and many other pieces are refined.
Four students at the Utrecht School of Art and Technology created the following cardboard mechanism. It took a lot of trial and error to get there. Go here to view the various prototype stages to get to the final.
