Alexander Calder has created a mobile that moves by kinetic energy. Its momentum is fueled by air currents which can be seen in the video below. I choose this piece of work to learn how to make a mobile move as well as to learn how to attach the pieces of the mobile together.

Even thou it is still Alexander Calder in this video there is a better visual to see whats going on. To me it describes what i want to say 'an object moves a space must change' in that as people move in and around the installation piece they move the air which moves the mobile, or displaces the air in the space.
