There’s hardly any other artistic oeuvre in which light and movement play such an essential role as in that of the famous “ZERO” protagonist Heinz Mack. In order to make these elusive phenomena visually effective, he began experimenting with numerous innovative materials as early as in the 1950s, integrating various structures and surface properties, in order to make selected sensory experiences the central elements of his art. It is not the content of his works that changes - what remains is a quest for greater intensity, greater effectiveness. Mack elevates a pictorial solution attained this way to a basic principle that runs through his entire oeuvre.
In "Dynamo" (1965), which is opart of Mack's "Rotors" group, the artist plays with these visual and aesthetic qualities. Kinetics and light are uniquely interwoven in the form of the motorized rotor. Combined with the effect of the glass pane in front with a lamellar structure and the white-turquoise color gradient, the light object enters into a sensitive dialogue with the viewer. When the rotor starts moving, the result is a moving interplay of the rotating wooden panel, the glass, the color and the light, which challenges visual perception in an exciting way. [AM]
