Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues
In the Fifties and Sixties of the last century, art under the label "kinetic" or "optical" kind of emerged and found a vast interest not only in artistic circles but also in a bigger public. Art came closer to the people, moving, motorized, electric driven sculptures, paintings, that would change their form, color and appearance, artworks, where people could interact with. Art had left its golden cage! Together with kinetic sculpture, forms like artistic action or happening were developed, and the use of everyday material became normal in the field of art.
It’s the idea of this special issue of Arts dedicated to kinetic and optical art to bring together different views on this vast field of artistic development, to assemble a collection of scholarly articles that will look on the field from different perspectives, bringing up historical, aesthetical, philosophical and any other question about kinetic and optical art.
