Here the problem of virtual volume relationship is posed. In mobiles, material is utilized not in its mass but a carrier of movement. To the three dimensions of volume, the fourth, the time element, movement is added. Depending upon the speed of motion, the original heavy block of material, transforms it self into a kind of ethereal extension [...] Whit this transformation, the original phenomenon of sculpture- the elements of which equalled material plus mass relationships- becomes dematerialized in the abstract formula: sculpture equals volume relationships.
