Inside an art museum in China ancient philosophy meets mechanical engineering in motion
This remarkable kinetic sculpture is inspired by Mohist mechanical concepts developed more than 2,000 years ago in ancient China.
Associated with thinkers such as Mozi and later Mohist engineers, these ideas explored how gears, levers, pulleys, and coordinated motion could transform human understanding of mechanics and automation.
Nisan bestesiyle
Gökten süzülürken damlalar,
Yıkanır baharın ilk dalları
Bir sessizlik, havada toprak kokusu,
Diner gönlün yorgun, o eski korkusu
Yaşam çoğalır dünyanın ellerinden
In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.
For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
Khalil Gibran
