Today the Google logo has been transformed into a work of art similar to the work of Alexander Calder to celebrate his 113th birthday.

He is most well known for his mobile sculptures, but he also made paintings, lithographs, toys, tapestry, jewellery and household objects.

His mobiles are perfectly balanced with flat bright coloured sheet metal which spin almost independently of each other.

If you use a browser that supports the HTML5 canvas tag (Chrome, Firefox 3.5+ Safari or IE9)  you’ll be able to play with it, spinning the mobile and watching the shadows spin below.
