12. KINETIC

KINETIC SCULPTURE is sculpture in motion. The work may have moving parts, a variety of mobilizing mechanisms, or depend on motion provided from an external source such as wind for its effect.

Art vehicles, sometimes human powered, may also be considered kinetic sculpture. The American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland hosts a Annual Kinetic Sculpture Race. For more information http://kineticbaltimore.com/
