Abstract: "BeeWave" is a kinetic art sculpture driven by a shaped memory alloy and embedded cellular automata mechanism. It use material properties of shape memory alloy creating a elegant sway motion. The basic motor element can see as triangular cone. The basic kinetic sculpture element can see as a module of triangular cone, which can be assembled into three dimensional sphere shape. The modular system worked as a cellular automaton system, which receive, store and process signals transmitted between the cells through the simple rules, its triggering all the globla behaviors as unpredictable wave cycle.
