Bolygo’s work is involved with both physical and conceptual forms of movement. He makes kinetic pieces that over time create different types of images – drawings, paintings, etchings, films, light projections etc. The machines are sculptural objects that act out an artistic activity. The idiosyncratic nature of the pieces recall early scientific instrumentation and perhaps allude to a time of great spectacle when the division between Art and Science was ambiguous and blurred.
