A square wave of wood

February 2nd, 2007 by herinde

Artist Reuben Margolin has created a series of wooden kinetic sculptures, which he calls Waves. One of these sculptures “The Square Wave” (image) is made of wooden dowels controlled by an awesome mechanical contraption. You really have to admire the tremendous effort and degree of precision this guy has used to create exactly these billowing movements. Another interesting point is the choice of material and shape: a square and wooden wave, which by the way can be described as a mathematical function. Who said waves were these unwieldy, uncontrollable, wet things…  

Make sure to watch the videos: here. The other waves are here.

    Thanks for this Pinocchio of waves. Who said wood cannot mime the world? ;)

    Rolling and meditative like the waves of the ocean - just the videos to watch if ones needs a quiet break in a busy workday.
