Joachim worked with us on this until his passing last July. We continued the engineering and manufacturing process with his colleagues Jussi Ängeslevä and Susanne Träger - both involved in Joachim's kinetic-projects at ART+COM for many years.
I knew Joachim for more than 30 years. The collaboration in his kinetic projects, the search for the optimal technical solution and aesthetics always meant a lot to me. I would have liked to show him that we (MKTengineering GmbH & Co. KG) managed to control the 12 pendulums with just one actuator and that the decision for the hand-finished brass surface was exactly the right one as it just looked perfect today.
His work and attention to detail make people feel emotionally connected, it always gives space an identity. So it does here as well.
The renaissance of the physical - that’s how he called it.
It is all about beauty and poetry.
Thank you, Joachim!
PS - AION will be inaugurated in the summer during a special event in memory of Joachim
