You don’t have to be first to be a pioneer. American sculptor Alexander Calder wasn’t the first person to create a mobile, but he became known as the true pioneer, bringing motion to a historically static field. It was actually French artist Marcel Duchamp who coined the phrase. The mobile was inspired by Mondrian. In 1930, Calder suggested oscillation for Mondrian’s geometric designs, but after Mondrian refused, Calder decided to take it to the world himself. Calder actually studied mechanical engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey where my Dad, Martin Santini, designed the award-winning Babbio Center for Technology Management. Calder’s nickname was Sandy, as seen in the signature on the left where my geometric motif complements his distinct shapes with sharp cutlines. The NFT features a background that oscillates back and forth, creating the illusion of mobility, yearning for an infinite balance.
