Well, kinetic is very much an appealing type of art form because it's entertaining, it's
very inspiring, and it's art that moves and art that moves you.
So the viewer is engaged when they can interact with it oneonone often.
They can also learn how the art is made.
This is powdercoated.
It's not just painted, and there's five layers.
And the final layer is actually a UV layer where the metallic fleck is.
If you mix the fleck in with the paint, it's not as good a quality.
So it's made as big and as best as it possibly can.
[Debby] Boynton Beach is a kinetic art city.
We embraced kinetic back in 2009.
This is our fourth biennale that we've created for the city.
It attracts people all over the world.
And then there's, you know, kinetic art that you'll see that are mobiles, that are stabiles,
wall, they're op art.
Art that when you move, you will see different things in it, and it'll transform in front
of your eyes.
Okay, we're going up to number two which is Jeffery Laudenslager.
It's called the Hob Flower.
The hob is the tool that created this, it's one of the tools, at least, that creates it.
I think just the way that it blends in with the remaining landscape, it's absolutely gorgeous
against the palm trees, the blue sky.
This is the only International Kinetic Art Fair and what we do through the moving toward
balance experience is give people their own opportunity to make kinetic art.
To be part of the art.
Throughout the twoday festival, people can look at art, and here they're making art as
well as looking at art.
And so, they get to understand the mechanics of it, the science of it, a lot of physics
involved in kinetic art.
And we're kind of taking the mystery out of it on a personal level and a personal scale.
I want to know how the water comes out of the bucket when he just sticks his hand in
it.
So Dudali is a character that I created and through him, through body language basically
I want to express my views of society.
Usually, there's a hint of humor, sarcasm sometimes, but it's always based on fun.
I do have a remote control on the dock, that you can step onto, and then it activates the
system.
So that's, you know, it's physical interaction.
Now the intellectual interaction with the sculpture is people associate themselves with
Dudali.
And that's really my goal.
I want you to see yourself into my work.
Probably the one that's taking direction from the guy that I'm with saying, "Get that water
out faster."
In a group, no matter what the size, it could be a couple it could be a family, and we go
on to a community, a city, a nation, and the whole planet as a whole, you always have those
that are totally oblivious to problems.
Completely oblivious, they just live their lives, all they're concerned about is their
own selves and their own wellbeing.
And then aboard the same ship, you have the one that constantly worry about the slightest
thing or it could be important, but my final comment would be, in this instance, is the
canoe taking in enough water that you should even worry about it?
So that should tell you which one of those two I might be.
The blue one, obviously.
Oh, I'm gonna be the red guy
Me too.
I'm gonna be the guy panicking over the flooding canoe.
To me, the colors are basically about, it's completely random.
Sometimes, I do pay attention to color.
In this instance, not at all.
It was completely I always use bright colors because my work's always fun, always intent
to distract, to bring a smile, and eventually I love if you can associate with any one of
those you made my day.
That's my reward.
[Man] That's interesting that you say that.
I'd probably be the one that's bailing out.
[Beju] And you would be fishing?
No.
No, definitely not.
[Woman] Look at how it's working.
Yeah, I know, and just the way it all fits right into the bucket and empties out.
I like this guy fishing though.
Fantastic.
I love that people actually play with my work.
They interact with it and that is the best.
That's the best.
