About

The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum proudly presents 'Kinetic Sculptures of the Digital Era,' a groundbreaking exhibition running from September 1 to December 31, 2026. This showcase investigates the profound intersection of physical craftsmanship and advanced digital automation, highlighting the pioneering work of artists Anthony Howe and Theo Jansen. Through the integration of robotics, complex sensors, and generative code, the exhibition invites visitors to witness a series of kinetic installations that react dynamically to their surroundings in real-time. By utilizing the iconic spiral architecture of the Guggenheim, these fluid, ever-changing sculptures transform the museum into a breathing ecosystem, challenging our perception of space and human interaction with technology. This immersive experience offers a rare glimpse into the future of sculptural art, where mathematical precision meets the grace of organic movement. Join us in New York this autumn to engage with these mesmerizing, self-animating forms that redefine the boundaries of modern sculpture and invite a new dialogue between art and engineering.
