“Saujana” is a kinetic art installation that utilizes computer technology to control the movement of magnetic steel balls over a fine sand surface. Through this mechanism, the steel balls move precisely, creating various dynamic and complex patterns and silhouettes. The main components of this installation include fine sand, wood, magnetic steel balls, and glass.
The pattern creation process begins with design planning, which is then programmed into a computer. This program controls the movement of the steel balls, ensuring each pattern formed is unique and distinct from other kinetic art pieces. The primary challenge in creating “Saujana” is designing original patterns, resulting in innovative and captivating artwork.
The name “Saujana” is derived from Sanskrit, meaning “a vast beautiful view,” reflecting the beauty and complexity of the patterns produced by this installation. This piece invites viewers to contemplate the harmony between technology and art, as well as the beauty that arises from their interaction.
Similar installations combining kinetic art with sand patterns can be found in the works of artists like Bruce Shapiro, known for “Sisyphus,” a kinetic sand table that uses steel balls to create beautiful patterns on the sand. Such works demonstrate how technology can be used to create ever-changing and mesmerizing art.
