	Halfbakery: Kinetic Sculpture From Prose
		A computer peripheral device that creates a kinetic sculpture representation of any writing.
		Write a parapgraph in your language of choice and instead of the output being printed words on paper, you get a kinetic sculpture that represents whatever you've written.
		It would use a soft plastic, like one of those computer-driven prototype part making machines--a three dimensional representation of whatever you've drawn, except that instead of starting with a drawing, it would have a library of 3-d images of whatever nouns occur in the writing.

		Kinetic Light Sculpture of the Zeilgalerie is a permanent installation on the facade of the Zeilgalerie in Frankfurt and was finished along with the building in September 1992.
		During the day, the perforated surface of the sheet metal, which is in front of the blue facade of the building, remains grey and reserved and only oscillates through the play of daylight.
		The overall image is directed by a computer terminal and a weather station on top of the building: the ambient temperature (variables: 0-30 degrees Centigrade) determines the amount of yellow on the blue wall.

	Kinetic sculpture race - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Neither Hobart nor Jack won; instead, the first winner of the Kinetic Sculpture Race was Bob Brown of Eureka, California.
		During the 1970s, the race adopted its present three day, cross-country format and became the "Triathlon of the Art World." Machines were built to take on mud, sand, water, gravel and pavement as well as some of the steepest hills in North America.
		As age and his crippling arthritis limited his activities, Hobart sold the race rights, the kinetic chicken logo and the trademark "For the Glory" to a new not-for-profit agency, called the Humboldt Kinetic Association in 2002.

	MAKE: Blog: Interactive, kinetic sculpture "Blame" - how it was made
		Here's a set of photographs of the interactive, kinetic sculpture "Blame", as well as a writeup on the technology and techniques used in building it - by Thomas Edwards.
		"Blame" is an interactive kinetic sculpture consisting of a robotic arm with a pointing hand on the end that scans the gallery, and when it finds a viewer, the arm stops with the hand pointing at the viewer, and then the sculpture proceeds to blame the viewer for some horrible crime against society.
		The "brains" of "Blame" is a PIC 16F648A flash-based, 8-bit microcontroller from Microchip Technology which orchestrates all the elements of the sculpture.

	Kinetic Sculpture Challenge
		A kinetic sculpture is a marble maze that relies specifically gravity to pull the marble through the maze as slowly as possible.
		Your maze will be timed with a stopwatch, from the second that you release the marble at the top of the track, until it comes to the end of the maze, drops down, and serves the operator a piece of candy.
		You are required to have a minimum of 8 of these ramps in order to keep your marble moving for as long a time as possible.
