Oceans is a kinetic sculpture that brings the movement of the sea to the arid landscape of Las Vegas. Composed of 483 motorized “Brixels,” it shifts in real time, reflecting oceanographic data from over 100 coastal cities. Every few minutes, its patterns transform to mirror a new location.
Interactive at its core, the sculpture responds to viewers’ movements, integrating their presence into the flowing display—blurring the boundaries between art, technology, and the environment.

The Pearl is a monumental kinetic sculpture where nearly 3,000 computer-driven tiles form a 45-foot-tall, 53-foot-wide artwork. Inspired by the sea, its movements mimic rolling waves, breezes, and shooting stars, with patterns arranged in a Fibonacci sequence found in marine life.
Driven by real-time tidal and wind data from the Caribbean, the sculpture shifts fluidly, reflecting the ocean’s rhythms. A result of over four years of innovation by BREAKFAST, The Pearl is both a feat of engineering and an immersive experience—bringing the pulse of the sea to life.

Cedar Point Reeds is a kinetic sculpture that visualizes wind and energy production at the Cedar Point Wind Farm, 80 miles east of Denver. Its 400 motorized Reeds sway in real time with wind speed and direction, while their illumination reflects power generation.
As viewers approach, the Reeds gather and light up, symbolizing our role in shaping a clean energy future. Designed by BREAKFAST for Block 162 in Denver, the sculpture updates every minute, seamlessly translating wind data into movement and light.
Zolty, known in the art world as BREAKFAST, is a data-driven kinetic and robotics artist who transforms real-time global data into mesmerizing, interactive sculptures. By blending art, engineering, and software, they create dynamic installations that reimagine how people experience movement, technology, and information. The work has been exhibited at the Venice Biennale, auctioned at Christie’s, and commissioned for Rockefeller Center, the Las Vegas Strip, and Harvard University.
Behind each piece is a studio of mechanical, electrical, and software engineers working alongside BREAKFAST to develop entirely new technologies that bring these kinetic artworks to life. From precision-engineered motion systems to AI-driven animations, the team’s expertise ensures every sculpture moves with an organic, seamless rhythm—driven by live data from the world around us.
Through relentless experimentation and innovation, BREAKFAST continues to push the boundaries of kinetic art, shaping a future where technology and creativity move as one.
