Its called "Geometry" and its currently doing its thing over in Brentford. The blub, which you can find here, says:
"The interplay of the different movements of the sculpture create a symbolic language of communication between the sculpture and the viewer"
What actually happens is that the two arms above rotate one direction, stop, then rotate again, maybe in the same direction, maybe the opposite.
And, yup, that's it.
There's a bit of an "oh" moment when you've realised what you've biked in the pouring rain to see isn't going to get any better the longer you hang around. Or at least not until dark, when there's meant to be lasers or something.
Never mind, the Thames Path is great enough to not need the excuse of a destination to get you out on your bike.

Perhaps that's the point? It's a metaphor for Brentford.
Maybe you're right: I must have missed something as that web site says the artist is brilliant and:
"uses light and sound technologies to create a mysterious art of beauty and power, challenging the boundaries of her materials and our own perceptions of them. The resulting kinetic work appears frameless and seems to possess a life of its own. Her audience is invited to engage in both the works' seductive simplicity and delve into their complex layers of mystery.
Based in the realm of contemporary kinetic art, her works result in a loss of that which is familiar, which allows the artist to distance herself from questions of subjectivity and to put perception of reality back into place."
It must be the lasers that I didn't get to see.
You can't go wrong with lasers, surely?
It has often been aid that my blog is "a mysterious art of beauty and power... which seems to possess a life of its own," and that "the audience is invited to engage in both the blog's seductive simplicity and delve into its complex layers of mystery."
The advantage of my blog is that you can see the Lasers any time. You can't go wrong with Lasers.
Yeah, that website is spot on - it accurately describes my thoughts when I saw the photo. I immediately recognized that my perception of reality was put back into place and realized that my knowledge of contemporary kinetic art is far too static.
And concerning Lasers - who says you can't go wrong with them - just yesterday I managed to lasso the boom with a half-hitch of the mainsheet during a gybe.
I think that lasso was an invitation to delve into the Laser's complex layers of mystery.
Or something. I'm not an installation art genius.
Remember to distance yourself from questions of subjectivity and your gybes are sure to improve.
