A leading figure in the kinetic and sound art movements, Greek artist Panayiotis Vassilakis (1925–2019), known as Takis, incorporated invisible forces as a fourth dimension in his sculptures, paintings and sound works. Frequently employing electromechanical devices salvaged from military surplus stores, the artist explored new technologies in his practice, taking art into domains previously relegated to experimental physics.
