Style

Kawarga works are often described as part of the Science Art movement (or SciArt), although the artist rejects this description. The kinetic objects in his installations are created in cooperation with scientists, programmers and engineers and often allow for viewer interaction. His style has been variously described as "biomorphism" or "biogenic art".[4][5]
