Miami native Robert Chambers is an accomplished artist, curator,
teacher, motivator and creative tinkerer. Beyond creating
his own work, he has an extraordinary ability to bring together
blockbuster exhibits that have made the Miami art scene one
of the most interesting in the country. His work juxtaposes
scientific methods and ideas with humor, religious motifs
and social themes. His kinetic piece for Sculpture Key West
2007 is designed to vibrate nearby architecture. These measurements
are called Eigenvalues and are of importance to engineers
when they analyze and design a structure in terms of its stability
of motion.
