In recent years, we have witnessed the development of new dimensions in art involving movement and light, and now commonly called 'kinetic art'. Kinetic art includes visual artifacts of three- dimensional or constructional type with mechanical motion of solid bodies, such as animated clockwork systems (which can be found on clock-towers in many cities of Europe) and Calder mobiles driven by air currents. The second major domain of kinetic art comprises the use of cinema equipment to create pictures of changing composition and color projected on to a framed area (the screen).
