Seeing is believing – well almost. For seeing a photo of one of our mobiles hardly tells the whole story.
A mobile doesn’t come alive until it is in motion. And even then the effect it has on you is hard to believe.

For when in motion a mobile creates a double emotion in the onlooker – an awareness of the fleeting nature of the moment, and the certainty of an eternal present. It stimulates both sides of the brain at the same time.
You become meditative and are released from the hassle of everyday life. Your spirit soars.

Our mobile universe
FILOSOFGANGEN (Art expo Odense, Denmark)
"5 Decades of Mobile-Making".
What is the nature of a mobile?
A balance of opposites.
The weights assert gravity – the feather-vanes defy it.
A mobile is poetry in motion.
Visual Poetry.
“The mobile’s life is hanging by a thread,
But there is still life. You can prove it:
If one day you should think its heart is dead,
A friendly whispering will move it.”
E.F.
