Ibyerekeye Cadence of the Spiral Primary Function: Iyubakwa Rigenda

Book Text: Cadence of the Spiral isuzuma igihe nk'ikintu cyoroshye, gifitanye isano, kandi kizima. Akabande k'icyuma cya stainless spring kabaze gishushanyijwe mu buryo buhindagurika buhoraho n'amaboko mirongo itatu y'ubukanishi. Ayo maboko agenda mu njyana zoroheje, zitandukanijwe mu byiciro. Mu gihe iyi spiral ihumeka, ikazingurura, ikongera kwiteguza ubwayo, nta minota ibiri isa rwose. Iki gikorwa cyahumetswe na mainspring y'isaha y'ubukanishi. Cyongera gusobanura icyuma cyazingitse nk'urwiteramo rw'ingufu zibitswe n'igenda ry'igihe. Iryo genda ntirisubirwamo. Ahubwo, impinduka igaragazwa binyuze mu guhinduka kugenzurwa. Igihe ntikiba gipimwe, ahubwo kiba kiyumvwa.

Ibintu Bidasanzwe: A long stainless-steel spiral is dynamically deformed by independently actuated arms, generating continuous reorganization through tension and release. Unlike static sculpture, the form never settles; it is constantly restructured into shifting orders. The spiral functions as a physical model of time—elastic, unstable, and relational. Controlled irregularity replaces mechanical uniformity, allowing viewers to perceive time not as measurement, but as a living and evolving order.
Ibipimo n'Ipaki: Material: Blast-finished stainless spring steel (0.3 mm thickness, 80 mm width)
Spiral pitch: 100 mm
Number of turns: 10
Control: PC-based control system
Installation footprint: Approx. 2000 mm × 2000 mm × 2000 mm
Power: AC 100–240 V
Ibibazo Fatizo: Kinetic art, Spiral structure, Time perception, Mechanical rhythm, Parametric design, Stainless steel sculpture, Dynamic installation, Temporal form
Ikoranabuhanga ryo Guteza Imbere: A custom-fabricated stainless-steel spiral plate forms the core structure, paired with a bespoke linear actuation system developed for this work. Most mechanical components—including joints, mounts, and structural interfaces—were custom-designed to enable precise distributed deformation. Motion is coordinated through a PC-based control architecture enabling synchronized, phase-shifted oscillations. Parametric modeling and simulation optimized stress distribution and torsional balance.
Ikibazo cy'Ishusho: The primary challenge was balancing structural stability with expressive flexibility. The spiral required sufficient rigidity to maintain form, yet enough elasticity to allow dynamic deformation. Managing distributed mechanical stress while achieving organic motion demanded extensive iteration. Technological constraints of synchronized actuation and material fatigue also required innovative solutions to preserve both safety and poetic integrity.
Ubushakashatsi: This practice-based design research explores time as a spatial and kinetic phenomenon. Through iterative prototyping combining mechanical engineering and artistic experimentation, parametric modeling, structural simulation, and motion analysis were employed. Audience observation during exhibitions informed the study. The research identified perceptual shifts generated by micro-irregular motion, demonstrating how controlled instability enhances emotional engagement and contributes to contemporary kinetic art and experiential design.
Ibyatumye Habaho: Inspired by the mainspring of a mechanical watch, Cadence of the Spiral reconsiders the spiral beyond its functional role. The tightly wound strip of metal appeared as a vessel containing latent energy and rhythm of time itself. When gently lifted, it responded with subtle motion, as if about to begin a heartbeat. The spiral thus emerged not as an object, but as a physical manifestation of invisible time—an embodiment of tension and release within temporal experience.
Igihe cy'Umushinga: The project began in Tokyo in March 2025 and was completed in November 2025. Prototyping and structural validation were conducted in Tokyo. Developed in collaboration with Seiko Watch Corporation to explore the cultural and mechanical heritage of horology, the work was exhibited in Japan and is currently being prepared for international presentation.
Uburyo bw'Imikorere: The spiral slowly shifts between tension and release. As the supporting arms extend and retract, the form breathes, twists, and reorganizes itself. There is no fixed choreography; instead, subtle variations create moments of alignment and misalignment. Viewers experience a continuous transformation—sometimes synchronized, sometimes slightly off—evoking the sensation of time that never fully repeats yet always returns.
