description/mission statement:
This group manages the "Kinetic Art & Sculpture" category. Kinetic art is art that contains moving parts or depends on motion for its effect. The moving parts are generally powered by wind, a motor or the observer. Kinetic art includes Mobiles, Wallables, Gyros, Wind Art, and other art that moves.

Alexander Calder and George Rickey pioneered kinetic sculpture.
The motion of the work can be provided in many ways: mechanically through electricity, steam or clockwork; by utilising natural phenomena such as wind or wave power; or by relying on the spectator to provide the motion, by doing something such as cranking a handle.
