Now, with more than 1,000 members in over 60 Countries around the world, KAO has become the largest kinetic art organization in the world.
All Ralfonso kinetic sculptures move, as they interact with water, wind, electricity, as well as with the natural environment and most importantly, the viewer.
He has been invited to teach or lecture about Kinetic & Interactive Art and STEAM EDUCATION (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) at numerous Universities and Art Panels around the world.
