Abstract:
See-Saw is a kinetic installation unfolding silently, driven by the behavior of liquid flowing inside the objects. A group of these objects, shaped like seesaws, are aligned. By changing the position of the center of gravity of the liquid inside, each see-saw alters its inclination dynamically. The behavior of liquid is realized using the Electrohydrodynamics (EHD) phenomenon. We generate these movements that appear to depart from conventional physics by electrically manipulating an invisible driving force to move the liquid against gravity. This installation embodies a natural and smooth kinetic aesthetic that blends seamlessly into the surrounding environment through silent movement.
