Andrew Zolty, the founder of BREAKFAST and a distinguished kinetic artist residing in Brooklyn, has devoted the past two decades to exploring the intricate nexus between art, design, and technology. In 2009, he established BREAKFAST, conceiving a studio that would challenge the traditional confines of art through the creation of computer-controlled kinetic artworks. These pieces are renowned for their ability to narrate stories and engage with real-time web data, positioning Zolty and BREAKFAST at the vanguard of the kinetic art movement. Their work has been celebrated in esteemed venues such as the 2024 Venice Biennale and Christie's auction block, attesting to their significant impact on the contemporary art scene.
Under Zolty’s leadership, BREAKFAST has created more than 250 kinetic sculptures that now grace some of the most prestigious collections around the globe, including those at Harvard University, Rockefeller Center, and Tiffany & Co.
All of BREAKFAST's artworks are meticulously designed, engineered, and assembled in-house by an exceptionally talented and multidisciplinary team hailing from diverse backgrounds. This group of visionaries, often seen as the misfits of their former realms, have transitioned from prestigious organizations such as Apple, Disney, SpaceX, Rolls Royce, and many others, choosing to dedicate their expertise to forging the most groundbreaking kinetic art on the planet. They embody the core of what makes BREAKFAST’s innovative work possible, driving the studio's pioneering spirit and artistic achievements.
