Ballistics

Public sculptures for online spaces

Ballistics are generative 3D kinetic sculptures that can be viewed on the web and in Augmented Reality, pulling them into the world around you.

They can also be experienced in the metaverse where you can jump, climb and dance upon them with your friends.

Ballistics was inspired by kinetic sculptures by artists like Naum Gabo, Julio Le Parc, and the GRAV collective. Simple forms can float with meditative grace, or jump with manic energy.

Click or tap the images below to see the sculptures animate. (These are test versions).
