PROGRESS:
1. Bought Materials: wood, tubing, metallic paints, gesso, 1/2″ diameter copper plumbing pipes, pipe cutter (the best cutting tool ever), marbles
2. Building 12″ x 24″ frame, laser-cutting pieces and figuring out the design to make a marble move through the pipes and system.
NEXT STEPS:
1. Finalizing Design.
2. Adding an interactive component to it, like a motion or touch sensor to trigger sounds.
3. Painting and piecing it together.
DESIGN INSPIRATION: Zachmann Kinetic Sculpture, Soundtrack
I’d also take a look at works by George Rhoads . He has an amazing musical pool ball sculpture in Port Authority.
