Art, Nature and Technology- Ned Kahn



Fire Vortex- which is a cointained spout of fire



Subducted Landscape- in which glass is forced around a chamber with compressed air.



Tornado Machine- in which the vortex of a cyclone, complete with a still "eye" is created

Ned Kahn's work is semblance of scientific experiment. He is both the choreographer and student of nature and has created an extensive survey of the efects of the elements. The genius in containing of the pure forces through such tangibly tactile scrutiny is a scientific process as much as artistic, as the kinetic works are allusion and representations of the forms and equations only, they are a synthesis, that the audience is to explore from the safety of Kahn's objectivity.

Kahn's work is as spectacular, at first hand as seeing the earth turn. Kahn creates Pyrotechnics to rival Star Wars with the philosophy that THE TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN FICTION.

The earth is changing with out a solid perspective of really why or how, it is from the vision of Ned Kahn that the fears and concerns with be extrapolated and ratified.
