Abstract

The use of various media as well as development of technique led to much attention to artistic expression of artificial life. In particular, development of motor to which high technique is applied, application of sensor which plays a role like a human sensory system as well as research on new type of system to which objet is combined that reacts to external environment contribute to artistic creation. In addition, application of characteristics that lives have enabled classification as mechanical life unlike simple mechanical system. Existing kinetic art produced artworks considering only movement as important concept. However, application of research which simulates process of life by using computer or other media helped express mechanical life. This study analyzes kinetic artworks which were created based on theories on artificial life. This study covers artistic value of articial life in kinetic art by making mechanical life that can expand communication with spectators.

Highlights

  • Kinetic art which expresses art based on movement of artwork originated from Marcel Duchamp who used wheel of bicycle in his artwork

  • Since the first kinetic artwork was produced, technique continued to make progress and concept of life was applied to kinetic art

  • Four areas in artificial life art are shown in today's kinetic artworks clearly

Summary

Introduction

Kinetic art which expresses art based on movement of artwork originated from Marcel Duchamp who used wheel of bicycle in his artwork. Hereditary algorithm was applied to computer which enabled computer to have its own capability or to react to external environment based on sensor or physical system. Such expression appears similar to interaction which is simulated in concept of life which is considered application of perceptual ability to moving machine. Kinetic art contributes to aesthetic appreciation of artistic value along with technological development based on system which is similar to life. Such artistic activity led to mechanical life which deserves being studied continuously along with development of related field
