CYCLOÏD-E

When you think of the Swiss, sometimes precision and fine craftsmanship comes to mind.
When you watch this extraordinary kinetic work of Michel & André Décosterd you are reminded of not only these qualities but you’re captivated by the hypnotic interplay of it’s sound and movement.
Metal tubes, equipped with loudspeakers that, as a group, rotate on it’s own axis and that,
at indeterminate times, seems to want to fling itself off this centre-point by thrusting forward and back; all with a beautiful organic-looking movement accompanied by sound-speed synchronization.
Three videos follow: the second of which I tried to follow the movement so that there was less chance of the tubes leaving the video frame. The third one is from the brothers themselves.
