Kinetic art and time

Abstract

The following research will explore a multitude of aspects relating to “Kinetic Art and Time”. The study aims to analyse the branch of kinetics in art, motion, time and one‟s awareness of its progression. These themes will be researched in detail so as to adequately answer the research question, “How can kinetic art be used to represent the notion of time?” Subsequently, the present study aims to link these various theoretical and philosophical aspects of time and motion, together with the actual realisation of a kinetic installation aimed at illustrating the concept of time. Elements adopted from the sine wave principle were applied in order to reflect a unique definition of time, following theories from key thinkers within the field of space-time philosophy.
