Animated Artistic Mobiles

A collaboration between Lut Bruyninckx and Jean-Claude Ponslet via baron.be

Pig

1. Homeward Bound (or the Inevitable)

The artist questions the concept of free will through the figure of the domestic swine. The jewelled crown - red, lavish, slightly ridiculous - symbolises the honours society pins on us without us ever really asking for them. The pig is not a slave to his chains : he pulls them himself. Make of that what you will.

Doll

2. A disarticulated doll's "bras d'honneur"

A provocative work using high-precision servos for a bold, symbolic mechanical gesture.

Watch

3. A watch running away

A visual metaphor for time slipping away, featuring complex mechanical and electronic synchronization.

Character

4. A denture character

An interactive character whose jaw movements respond in real-time to viewer proximity sensors.
