03/27/17 - Björn Schülke is a German artist, born in 1967, whose Utopian sculptures are the result of deep scientific investigations. Leonardo Da Vinci's complex machines and the Russian vanguards are his main references, as also science fiction movies. His kinetic artworks look like imaginary objects that makes us wonder about an uncertain future.

Beams of light, drones and machines with mirrors are some of the instruments used by the artist to describe his visions. Using materials more common in Industrial Design than in traditional sculpture, his works are precise scientific machines, although totally useless. All of them have anthropomorphic qualities and move as a reaction to what happens around them: the movements of their arms or extensions are completely unexpected.
Materials: brass, wood, carbón, fiber, cameras, TFT
LCD, motors, motion sensors, custom circuit, paint.
Schülke's kinetic artworks are "activated" by the presence of the visitors who wish to interact with them. Each of our movements have an answer in the machines, as all other artworks in the 21st century: they are "completed" by the presence of the curious art lovers.
