The artwork titled “Signals,” created by the artist Takis in 1970, exemplifies the Kinetic Art movement and belongs to the installation genre.
The artwork features a series of slender, elongated forms that rise upwards from sturdy bases, taking on various abstract shapes at their summits. These forms seem to reach towards the ceiling, emphasizing verticality and the dynamic interplay of balance and tension. The minimalist design and the juxtaposition of different geometric shapes lend the artwork a sense of coherence while inviting viewers to contemplate the subtle movements or changes in perception as they navigate around it. The installation overall conveys a sophisticated blend of scientific and artistic expression, hallmark characteristics of the Kinetic Art movement.
