According to its designer, John Edmark's Helicone is a kinetic sculpture that amplifies "our awareness of the sometimes tenuous relationship between facts and perception.” Inspired by nature and based on the Fibonacci numbers, Helicone packs some pretty unexpected behavior into what appears to be a fairly simple object. Utilizing 38 pieces of excruciatingly precise laser-cut wood, unique internal mechanisms, and a brass tube, Helicone completely transforms at the twist of your hand.
