Kinetic Sculptor and Engineer: Marco Kruyt

Baileybots stands for high quality kinetic sculptures made by Marco Kruyt. He grew into the field of kinetic Art through his background as a Engineer - Model Maker. Gradually, through refinement and a growing set of instruments, he entered the fine arts field by working in the Antistrot collective. This led to experience in combining robotics with performance and 2d art. This also widened the scope of the conceptual thinking behind Baileybots.

Today, his work stands for a distinctive connection with our surrounding nature and all it’s organisms. Baileybot’s organisms are a link of numerical produced parts and handcraft.
This process of linking is a key factor in his artistic practice.
The want to create life out of dead matter reminisces of the alchemists and inventors of past times. It’s this quality combined with current production techniques which makes it exciting and innovative.

It reflects the view of the maker, his attitude towards the global ecological situation, and life. The use of scrap metal is a telling example. The are clear undercurrents in his work, commenting on the current relation between man and animal.
