Reuben Heyday Margolin is an American-born artist and sculptor known for his mechanically driven kinetic sculptures of wave-forms. Some of the sculptures are hand-cranked and small scale, while others are large, installed in large high-ceiling spaces, suspended from the ceiling. His art also includes drawings, portraiture, traditional sculpture, and rickshaws. Margin has exhibited his work at museums and galleries such as the Exploratorium in San Francisco. . #ReubenMargolin #ReubenHeydayMargoli

Esculturas cinéticas de acero de Reuben Margolin: En sus esculturas, el artista visual estadounidense, Reuben utiliza inspiración de la naturaleza y las matemáticas. En esta escultura, Reuben logra que los anilos suenen cuando son empujadas. En sus redes, Margolin comparte, "Terminé esta pieza el mes pasado y aunque tiene un solo motor de diferentes tamaños de piñones le da un camino que solo se repite cada 27 minutos. No estoy seguro si es una ola o una oruga u otra cosa. ¡Pero me gusta!" #arte

Reuben Margolin on Instagram: "Inspired by a drop of rain this sculpture has three small electric motors. One rotates a cam to produce the wave movement. One adjusts how centered the cam is which determines the amplitude of the wave. And the third winds all of the cables onto a single spool to adjust the overall height of the rings. The height and amplitude control are only used for initial setup and are quite slow so I sped up that part of the video while the last part of the video is true spee
