Takis Vassilakis perhaps embodies the most radical reinterpretation of ancient Greek ideas— channeling the mystery of the oracle or the kinetic force of the cosmos. His magnetically charged sculptures, sound-generating installations, and antenna-like structures tap into the same fascination with metaphysics and natural law that animated the Pre-Socratics. Takis’ sculptures are oracular instruments, reconceiving the sacred mechanics of the ancient world in the idiom of modern physics and cybernetics.
