Other leading exponents include Yaacov Agam , Eduard Bersudsky, Marcel Duchamp , Arthur Ganson , Naum Gabo , Starr Kempf , Len Lye , Ronald Mallory , Jean Tinguely , and the Zero Group . Mobile s are a type of kinetic sculpture. Some kinetic sculptures are wind-powered, and others are motor driven. A variety of Human Powered Craft , such as Art Bike s, involved in cross country races and parades are considered kinetic sculpture. Kinetic sculptures are often implemeted as Installation Art .
