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.

Ballistics will be released as a generative art NFT collection later in 2024. Each NFT is effectively the design specification or blueprint for an animated Ballistics sculpture. Then the collector can experience the sculpture itself in many different ways.

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

Ballistics sculptures can be placed and viewed in the real world using Augmented Reality. We dropped this one next to Donald Judd's iconic concrete scultpures at the Chinati Foundation in Marfa, Texas.
