Satchiura Wind is an interactive kinetic art sculpture and real-time data visualization of wind movements in Satchiura, Japan. The artwork moves through nine transitions, shifting the piece from copper to blue, where it then shows a dynamic visual representation of the current wind direction, speed, and gusts.

When one approaches, the sculpture replaces the visualization with your reflection, making you an integral part of the artwork's narrative.

"The Pearl" stands as a testament to the convergence of art and technology, a sculpture that is both monumental in scale and intricate in its execution. Nearly 3,000 computer-driven kinetic tiles form this 45-foot-tall (13.7 meters) and 53-foot-diameter (16 meters) artwork. Its uniqueness lies not just in its size, but in its ability to capture and reflect the essence of the sea. Mimicking the rolling waves, gentle breezes, shooting stars, and the dynamic ocean surface, The Pearl brings the tranquility and unpredictability of the sea to life.

The tiles, arranged in a Fibonacci sequence reminiscent of patterns found in marine life, move with a fluidity that evokes the ocean's natural rhythms. Intriguingly, several of these movements are influenced by real-time tidal and wind data from the Caribbean, allowing the sculpture to transform in response to its environmental conditions—ranging from serene to vibrant.

The creation of The Pearl is a story of dedication and innovation. It took the artist collective BREAKFAST over four years of conceptualization, design, and fabrication, with each component being meticulously custom-made. This commitment to craftsmanship and detail is palpable in the artwork's presence.

The Pearl is not just a sculpture but an immersive experience, inviting viewers to not only observe but to feel the pulse of the ocean's eternal dance.

Cedar Point Reeds is a kinetic sculpture visualizing the wind and wind energy production occurring at the Cedar Point Wind Farm—a 252 megawatt wind farm 80 miles east of Denver. The mechanical Reeds that make up the artwork move based on the real-time wind speed and bearing occurring at the wind farm. The power generation is represented by the illumination of the Reeds.

As we are all part of creating our sustainable future, the sculpture responds as one approaches it. The reeds will gather and illuminate in front of you, representing how we fit into the bigger story of achieving a clean energy future.

"Toronto Wind" is a dynamic kinetic sculpture that embodies the ever-changing wind currents of Toronto. This interactive art installation consists of 209 motorized elements, crafted from gold-tinted mirrored stainless steel and anodized aluminum, known as Brixels. These Brixels gently rotate to mirror the real-time wind patterns and gusts coursing through the city, symbolizing the fluid and unpredictable nature of urban life.

The sculpture offers a unique tactile experience reminiscent of feeling a breeze by extending your hand. As viewers stand on the sidewalk across from the sculpture, they have the opportunity to engage directly with the artwork. By raising a hand above their head, the sculpture will react by rotating the corresponding column of Brixels within the sculpture, enabling them to influence the representation of the wind. This interaction not only alters the sculpture's appearance but also allows the participants to become an integral part of the art piece, reflecting the narrative of the city and its inhabitants.

As viewers engage with Abstraction, their movements are recorded as invisible brushstrokes that come to life as abstract patterns after stepping away. These patterns evolve, growing more or less complex, directly reflecting the dynamism and rhythm of the audience’s presence.
Crafted from over 50,000 Flip-Discs, each disc serves as a pixel in a vast, ever-changing tapestry. One side of these discs features a custom print inspired from the evening sky over the Neuse River, while the reverse shines with gold foil. The result is a fluid symphony of light and motion, a dance of color and reflection, allowing each viewer to communicate with the piece as both artist and observer.

“Boston Wind” is a kinetic sculpture that reflects Boston’s wind currents through 185 motorized elements called Brixels, made of mirrored stainless steel and red anodized aluminum. The Brixels move based on real-time wind patterns, symbolizing urban life’s fluid and unpredictable nature. Viewers can engage with the sculpture by raising their hands above their heads, causing the corresponding column of Brixels to rotate. This provides a tactile experience akin to feeling a breeze with your hand. This interaction changes the sculpture’s appearance and allows participants to influence the artwork, embodying the city's narrative and its inhabitants.
