BREAKFAST is a contemporary kinetic artist and new media sculptor known for creating interactive sculptures powered by real-time data, artificial intelligence, robotics, and custom-engineered technology. Combining art, software, mechanical engineering, and data visualization, BREAKFAST transforms invisible global forces such as weather patterns, ocean conditions, energy consumption, and human interaction into mesmerizing kinetic artworks. His large-scale installations and collectible kinetic sculptures have been exhibited internationally and are recognized as pioneering works in the fields of kinetic art, AI art, and contemporary technology-driven sculpture.
Andrew Zolty is the founder and creative force behind BREAKFAST, an internationally recognized kinetic artist, new media sculptor, and pioneer in data-driven art. Based in Brooklyn, New York, Zolty has spent more than two decades exploring the intersection of art, technology, engineering, and design, creating innovative works that transform real-time information into mesmerizing physical experiences.
Founded in 2009, BREAKFAST was conceived as a multidisciplinary studio dedicated to pushing the boundaries of contemporary art through the creation of kinetic sculptures, interactive artworks, and technology-driven installations. By combining custom software, robotics, mechanical engineering, artificial intelligence, and real-time data visualization, BREAKFAST has become one of the leading voices in the fields of kinetic art, AI art, generative art, and new media sculpture.
Widely recognized for creating sculptures that respond to live environmental, social, financial, and behavioral data, BREAKFAST's works transform invisible systems into dynamic visual narratives. Through innovative mediums such as the studio's proprietary Brixels technology and its groundbreaking flip-disc sculptures, Zolty has established a distinctive artistic language that merges digital intelligence with physical movement. The result is a body of work that challenges traditional notions of sculpture while redefining what interactive and data-driven art can be.
BREAKFAST's monumental installations and collectible kinetic sculptures have been exhibited internationally and featured at some of the world's most prestigious cultural events and institutions. In 2024, BREAKFAST's work was showcased at the Venice Biennale, further cementing the studio's reputation as a leader in contemporary technology-based art. The artist's sculptures have also appeared on Christie's auction block and have become highly sought-after by collectors interested in innovative contemporary art, digital art, and kinetic sculpture.
Among BREAKFAST's most celebrated works are Oceans, a large-scale public artwork in Las Vegas that visualizes oceanic data through mechanical movement, and The Pearl, widely regarded as one of the most technologically sophisticated kinetic sculptures ever created. These landmark projects exemplify the studio's ability to seamlessly integrate art, engineering, robotics, and real-time data into immersive experiences that engage audiences on both intellectual and emotional levels.
Over the course of his career, Zolty and BREAKFAST have created more than 250 kinetic sculptures and interactive artworks that are now held in prominent private, corporate, and institutional collections worldwide. Notable collections include Harvard University, Rockefeller Center, Tiffany & Co., and numerous leading museums, public spaces, and technology-focused collections. Through a relentless commitment to innovation, BREAKFAST continues to shape the future of contemporary kinetic art, establishing new possibilities for how art can respond to an increasingly connected and data-rich world.
