John Poché
Kinetic Design
Kinetic Sculpture has always fascinated John Poché.. It helps that New Orleans has some wonderful examples for inspiration.
When John finally had some success in life he didn't get a car or a fancy watch, but a piece of Kinetic Sculpture.
Surface
John Poché's background is in Broadcasting and more specifically, software for Broadcasters.
According to him, building Kinetic work brings some of the same kinds of complexity to creation that software does - the inner workings are far more involved than people see, but if what they do see isn't beautiful (in either it's execution or it's motion) than all the work under the surface is wasted.
Elements
By definition Kinetic Art is very broad, encompassing work that's driven by light, sound, water, magnetism or electricity and using all kinds of materials.
John Poché is focused on highly polished or powder coated aluminum, stainless steel and recently with PLA and PETG plastics through 3D Printing. Outdoor works are all designed to be driven by wind. Indoor works can be propelled either by new digital bases, fans, turntables or manual propulsion.
