About this Event

Venue Type
The pop-up exhibition “Free Machines” at the German Museum on Munich's Museum Island showcases kinetic art machines by artist Felix Scharstein. The focus is on technical constructions that move and thereby develop their own poetic effect.
Technology Becomes Movement
Gears, belts, motors, and other mechanical elements in Scharstein's works combine precise technology with playful, almost lively movement. The machines make processes visible that would otherwise remain hidden: drive, rhythm, and interplay become an aesthetic experience.
The exhibition is aimed at everyone interested in mechanical processes, contemporary art, and unusual forms of perception. Instead of static objects, visitors can expect works of art whose impact is fundamentally created through movement. This is where engineering and poetic observation meet in a special exhibition format.
