Kinetica Museum Ltd, based in London, is an arts company that actively encourages the convergence of art and technology by showcasing work which explores the complex relations of scientific developments and the human condition. Kinetica Museum originally ran a museum space in London, between 2006 and 2007, which aimed to catalogue and display the most important examples of kinetic art, technological and electronic art, both past and present. Kinetica closed the museum space in 2007, its exhibitions and series of events have been since then nationally and internationally presented. In 2009, Kinetica launched the first version of the Kinetica Art Fair, the only fair in the United Kingdom dedicated to kinetic, robotic, sound, light and time-based art.

History

The Kinetica Museum was launched in 2006 by Dianne Harris, founder, curator and director of the Luminaries gallery (www.theluminaries.com)in London (2003 - 2004), and Tony Langford, Interactive and Multimedia MA from the London College of Communication and researcher of applied audiovisual and interactive media. The museum space was located in London's Spitafields Market and followed the success of the Luminaries (a series of three exhibitions in 2002) and the necessity of devoting a space for the public display of cutting-edge UK and international contemporary new media art.
