PerPendulum
2024


PerPendulum is a kinetic installation that epitomizes the principles of thermodynamics, transforming matter into motion. This  mechanism relies on the memory properties of NiTiNol and the simple elegance of a pendulum driven by two small oil lamps.

The installation creates a continuous cycle of motion, driven by the transformation of
matter >  heat  >  motion.
As long as there is fuel to sustain the flame, PerPendulum will remain in perpetual motion.
