Ribbon Stacks
Ribbon Stacks
Ribbon Stacks is a kinetic sculpture consisting of mirror polished stainless steel, aluminum,
stainless steel precision ball bearings, drive shafts and hardware, and carbon fiber/nylon
3d printed internal connectors secured by automotive industry adhesives.
Specifications
In Five Ribbon Stacks the base is created from a solid block of aluminum that has been CNC machined on the inside to house a microcomputer, driver, and motor. Software controls the motor which drives the stem and the lowest level rotating element of the Ribbon Stack. Each rotating element spins freely without dependency on other elements but the position in space is dependent on the element below it. Randomness of position is then amplified up through five levels giving the sculpture countless possible orientations in space. It never looks the same.
Ribbon Stacks is powered by a low-noise motor, which operates on a DC power supply. The kinetic behaviour is governed by a software with an interactive sensor.

John Poché
Kinetic Sculpture has always fascinated John Poché.. It helps that New Orleans has some wonderful examples for inspiration.
When John finally had some success in life he didn't get a car or a fancy watch, but a piece of Kinetic Sculpture.
