Non-Euclidean Timekeeper

Light sculpture for a time-themed event.

Non-Euclidean Timekeeper by Ben Keimpe Hofmans

My first time blending kinetic artwork with light.

This design was limited by the components that I wished to spend money on.

I wanted to avoid expensive slip rings, motors and bearings (especially if I didn't know whether they would work) and ended up designing my way into a bit of a corner.

Next time I create similar pieces I'll focus on simplifying the actuation and power transfer as much as possible.
