Ludwig Wilding's work was inspired by the Modernists and M.C. Escher and he is responsible for inventing the technology of using superimposition of interference which created three dimensional optical illusions. In the 1950's his "optical interference" identified and isolated the line using black and white as the primary structure in his work.
By the 1960's Ludwig Wilding began to incorporate two and three dimensional images by constructing "interfering objects" where he then superimposed a network of lines to produce effects of optical vertigo. Ludwig Wilding's works question the interaction between the viewer's eye and brain. His patterns appear to shift and flicker as the viewer looks at them, confusing the eye. He often referred to his work as "irritating art" as he incorporated the limits of visual perception and viewers often have to rub their eyes as the patterns physically irritate them. Ludwig Wilding's works have appeared in museums across the globe including the United States and Germany. Read Less

What is kinetic art?
Kinetic art is an international movement that emerged in the 1920s and gained prominence in the 1960s, referring to art that involves both apparent and real motion. It encompasses any medium that includes movement, either relying on actual motion for its effect or being perceived as moving by the viewer. Early examples include canvas paintings designed to create optical illusions of movement. Today, kinetic art often refers to three-dimensional figures and sculptures, such as those operated by machines or those that move naturally. The movement covers a variety of styles and techniques that frequently overlap.
