Anemone Magnifica schittert!
Omdat het Delft Highlight Festival was afgelast - door Covid maatregelen - heb ik het Anemone Magnifica sculptuur maar opgebouwd bij mijn atelier waarvan ik hier enkele afbeeldingen laat zien.
Het sculptuur wordt in beweging gezet door interactie van de toeschouwer. Om de beste manier voor deze interactie te vinden zodat de bewegingen mooi, vloeiend en langzaam zijn door een intuïtive handmatige bediening, heb ik enkele experimenten gedaan. Deze video geeft daar een mooie indruk van. Op dit moment werk ik nog aan de verbeteringen van het besturingsmechanisme van kabels en heft voor deze bewegingen.
Roestvaststaal puzzel...
Much work has been done on the Floating Pyramids Sculpture this week. The first picture shows the assembly of the main bearing house which is mounted inside the large '7' pillar. The pillar has been constructed, bending sheets of stainless steel in wonderful curves....
Also the balance arms have been constructed and the next step is to cast two 35 kg heavy plates of lead to be placed as counterweights in the triangular part of the balance arms.
Zwevende Piramides
The lasercutted stainless steel plates for the new balanced sculpture 'Floating Pyramids' have been delivered. Now it's time to put all pieces together as a large size puzzle, weld all the meters of edges, polish the surface, assemble the sculpture, and finally tune the balance. That will be my work for the next weeks until the opening of the Delft Highlight Festival on 18 November when the sculpture needs to be ready. This means indeed a lot of work in a short time... Extra motivation I obtained by receiving a grant for creative creators from the Municipality of Delft to develop this sculpture.
In these pictures you see the stainless steel bars (316L) for production of the axles and bearing houses by lathing.
Hermontage van Anemone Magnifica
For the Delft Highlight Festival I have completely reassembled the Anemone Magnifica. The bearings have been cleaned and minor improvements have been made for perfecting the sculpture. The sculpture is almost ready for exhibition, and ready to be interactively moved by everyone who visits the festival.
