Instruction: Watch the following videos on SEGMENT- Sarah Sze in Balance: Sarah Sze is one contemporary artist who is purposefully making us evaluate these design elements and principles when we encounter her installations. She states in her Art 21 interview that, “What I’m really thinking about is how to make a piece feel like it has a life so that, when you experience it, you think about its making…” In some of her works, she includes a kinetic element, where she is directly dealing with time and motion.
