Animated Artistic Mobiles

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

Coffee grinder - Lut Bruyninckx

1. Coffee Grinder (or the inevitable)

The artist Lut Bruyninckx features an animated character integrated into an antique coffee grinder. Through this mechanism from another time, the work questions free will and the cogs of daily life with a poetic and unique touch.

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.
