Box with motor and moving colored lights // Boite à lumières by Horacio García Rossi is a mixed media light sculpture created in 2012. This piece consists of a box containing a motorized system that generates moving colored lights, with an edition limited to 20. A vibrant circular display of purple lights, seen through a dark frame, creates a mesmerizing, almost hypnotic effect as it shifts in motion. García Rossi, a pioneer in kinetic and light art, explores the dynamic interaction between light and perception, inviting viewers into a sensory experience where light itself becomes the subject. The work’s minimalist structure emphasizes the ethereal quality of the shifting colors, embodying García Rossi’s fascination with optical illusion and movement.

What is kinetic art?
Kinetic art is an international movement that emerged in the 1920s and gained prominence in the 1960s, referring to art that involves both apparent and real motion. It encompasses any medium that includes movement, either relying on actual motion for its effect or being perceived as moving by the viewer. Early examples include canvas paintings designed to create optical illusions of movement. Today, kinetic art often refers to three-dimensional figures and sculptures, such as those operated by machines or those that move naturally. The movement covers a variety of styles and techniques that frequently overlap.
