“Auspicious Messenger – kinetic sculpture by Bob Potts https://www.madgallery.net/geneva/en/…https://www.youtube.com/user/PottsScu…
In his one-man workshop housed in an 1850s barn, Potts creates ethereal kinetic sculptures capturing the very essence of natural rhythmical movements like the flight of birds or the oars of boats in his inimitable style
Born in 1941, the artist is a connoisseur of form, movement, and visual grace. The New York state-based artist manages to capture this reverence for nature by using a pallet of gears, cranks, sliders, levers and chain links to create kinetic sculptures
Potts invests substantial amounts of creativity and energy into his pieces. His sculptures can take up to a year to complete and each work of art is a unique piece”

Very hypnotic…
I’ve been away expending my knowledge on theories, its subtopics and concepts. I’ve barely scratched the surface of kinetics, but hey; big things start will small steps.
You would be forgiven for assuming that heavier objects fall faster than lighter ones—it sounds like common sense, and besides, you know for a fact that a bowling ball drops more quickly than a feather. And this is true, but it has nothing to do with gravity—the only reason this occurs is because the earth’s atmosphere provides resistance. In reality, as Galileo first realized about 400 years ago, gravity works the same on all objects, regardless of their mass. What this means is that if you repeated the feather/bowling ball experiment on the moon (which has no atmosphere), they would hit the ground at the exact same time.
