Abstract

Spirals have appeared in man-made works of art for at least 20,000 years. In the 20th century, artists including Duchamp, Calder, and Bourgeois returned to the concept multiple times. Here we introduce a novel work of kinetic art that combines classical mechanics and quantum mechanics to produce beautiful spiral patterns.
