The Orbit Driver

3D Print and Electronic system, 35*95*35 cm, 2025

 

A kinetic installation combining 3D printing, bearings, and a complex electronic system. The piece is based on the structure of a classical gyroscope, allowing freedom of movement in three axes. At the heart of the structure is a brushless motor spinning the core at high speed, while the structural rings are driven by separate DC motors. The work was inspired by 16th-century astronomical clocks and ancient cosmological drawings that attempted to map the movement of celestial bodies.

The work explores the concept of freedom through a mechanism in constant struggle. While the gyroscope naturally strives for stabilization and arrangement in space, the motors integrated into its rings create resistance and prevent it from reaching a static state. This tension leaves the machine in a continuous motion of change—a metaphor for the human desire to achieve stability in a world driven by conflicting forces. "Orbit Mover" is not a precise measuring instrument, but a visual representation of the freedom of action that exists precisely within instability, where movement becomes a cosmic dance between order and chaos.
