Kinetic Sculpture

Any sculpture that contains moving parts. It started with the Dada artist, Marcel Duchamp, with his spinning bicycle wheel on a stool in 1913. The root of this style is connected by the interest in modern technology. This art form was most popular during the 1950's and 1960's. Today, it is still being carried on by some and is including work with lasers, computers and other high-tech methods. Two of the founders were Jean Tinguely and George Rickey.
