Innovative New Zealand artist Len Lye has become better-known since his death in 1980. Technological advances have allowed more of the graceful and lively kinetic sculptures Lye designed to be built, including two public sculptures - the Wind Wand in New Plymouth and the Water Whirler in Wellington. Lye's collected works are housed at the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery in New Plymouth. Archival audio sourced from Radio New Zealand Sound Archives, http://www.soundarchives.co.nz/.
