Jean Tinguely: Kinetic Machines


Jean Tinguely was a Swiss painter and sculptor. He is best known for his sculptural machines or kinetic art, known as metamechanics. Tinguely's art satirized the mindless overproduction of material goods in advanced industrial society. His sculptures communicate through their noisy and multifaceted movements where both the functions as well as the movements become art.
