This "Flock of Ducks" motorized sculpture is by German artist Felix Scharstein. "Three spirals are interlocked and rotate synchronously," Scharstein writes. "The ducks at the ends of the spirals fly playfully in circles and around each other."
The sculpture is made of aluminum and gold-plated brass. Scharstein created the first one in 2022; now, for an exhibition of his work at the Deutsches Museum in Munich, he's created a larger version:
Scharstein's exhibition, called "Free Machines," is currently running thru November 29th. For those who can't make it, you can see more of Scharstein's machines in action here.
