AD INFINITUM is a wind-driven, kinetic sculpture, handcrafted in great detail from stainless steel AD INFINITUM is a Latin expression, meaning "to infinity" or "endlessly", - just as this sculpture will turn endlessly in the wind.

The heart of AD INFINITUM is an array of 36 intersecting metal ring discs, representing the 360 degrees of freedom -- each one reflecting a different reality in the highly polished stainless steel surface.

The "Infinity Center" is designed to look like the mathematical symbol ∞ for Infinity. Due to the intricate design and assembly, the view of it is ever changing, as it rotates simultaneously on multiple axis!

In November 2006 it has been exhibited at the "2nd International Art and Science Biennale" in Beijing, China.
