Designed by Scottish architecture firm, RMJM, the Falkirk Wheel is boat lift in central Scotland that connects two canals. Previously 11 locks were required to connect the canals which differ in height by 24 meters. The inner rings rotate at the same speed as the larger axis in order to keep the boat and water from tipping over. The Wheel can make a full rotation in eight minutes.
Art Going Through the Motion: Robin Rhode
Rhode’s art combines performance and drawing to simulate motion on the streets of his native Johannesburg. By redrawing each new frame on top of the previous frame the division between them blurs which both creates a fluidity within the work and exposes the actions performed between frames.
