BMW Breathtaking Kinetic Sculpture

Legendary automaker BMW teamed up with design studio ART+COM to expand our understanding of “sculpture”. The end result is an unbelievable kinetic sculpture that was created from numerous small metal spheres floating in the air and grouping into various forms. Exactly 714 metal balls are connected with a thin steel wires that are attached to an individual motor, sending the balls in motion. The wires are practically invisible, giving the illusion of flotation.

Don’t Break My Heart!

Created by Eva Milinkovic of Tsunami Glassworks this gorgeous piece is a fusion of color and creativity.  Inspired by the many emotions of the heart, the Ventricle Vase intertwines passionate purple, loving red, ranges of moody blue, and pure white to create an artistic expression that is as complex and compelling as the human spirit itself.  Made of glass – a material that is both delicate and enduring.
