Description
“Musical Spinning Tops” is a kinetic sculptural curtain which incorporates salvaged parts from hard disk drives to highlight the theme of reuse and the cycle of products from raw material to designed object and back to raw material.
Spinning toys such as tops and gyroscopes transform from one shape into another. No matter the starting shape of a top, once it rotates it forms the shape of a circle. In recycling, a similar process occurs. The designed shape of an object, after its operating lifecycle is complete, is transformed back into raw material and then back into a new designed object. The rotation of elements in the sculpture refer to this process.
