Kwsa is a kinetic wall installation located at the Aramco Innovation Center in Riyadh. The work covers 209 square meters and is formed by six modular walls, each 6000 mm wide and 7000 mm high. Motion is produced by 20,000 stepper motors that drive a custom lead screw and lever system with a precision of 0.1 mm. Components made of self-lubricating technopolymers need no lubrication and allow front access for maintenance. Choreographed sequences are created from grayscale video, where brightness values define the degree of movement.
