INSTALLATION – YASUTOKI KARIYA/ 17.08.12

 

Student Yasutoki Kariya re invented the universal desktop gadget, Newton’s Cradle, using light bulbs for his final project.  Titled Asobi which translates roughly as ‘playing’, the 11 bulb installation creates a visual interpretation of the popular toy named after Sir Isaac Newton demonstrating his third law of motion regarding momentum.

 

 

I remember when I was a child and found the kenetic toys amazing – I Could actually spend hours playing with it wondering why only the end steel balls would move and how it generated a pattern.  What I love about Yasutoki’s work is that although he is taking a basic rule (momentum) as his foundation he has cleverly created something more mesmerising than the original – this sort of talent is very rare. I would’ve have loved to have been exposed to this when I was younger.
