Object to Object 9 - Contextural Research 2

Bruno Munari

In the process of researching artists associated with 'MOBILE', what I found very interesting was that each artist had their own principles for building balance, they show the balanced result to the audience,this make me to think about could the balance be analized as a process rather than present the balanced result, which made me wonder if it was possible to make a balancing toy like a block, where everyone could build their own dynamic balancing sculpture, to feel the joy of assembly.

After the tutorial with Oscar, he recommended me a book by Brun, and what I found interesting was the way in which I read Bruno Munari's principles of design balance, how to set the length of the hanging rods and the size of the hangings, a calculation that I found very impressive.
