The kinetic sculpture is a free printable 3D model from Thingiverse by Parkinbot. During my last visit to the Futurium in Berlin, I discovered an exciting art object, a kind of bowl, made up of an abundance of dodecahedrons, which seemed to kind of roll down. You can download the STL file from the original listing below and print it at home.
About this model
During my last visit to the Futurium in Berlin, I discovered an exciting art object, a kind of bowl, made up of an abundance of dodecahedrons, which seemed to kind of roll down within the object like stones roll down a hill. Apparently it was a 3D print. But how did the movement come about? When trying to take a video of it, I noticed a dark bar crossing the screen that strongly pointed to a synchronization artifact and revealed the secret: a cleverly composed optical illusion created by a strobe light on a spinning object with corresponding structures forming the animation sequences.
