Jim Pallas (born 1941) is an American sculptor known for his electro-kinetic sculptures. “Zany, surrealistic, and ingenious in their construction, Mr. Pallas' work ushers us into the gaudy baroque phrase of kinetic art, as emanations of Paul Klee's Twittering Machines come back to haunt us in the language of our bizarre technology.” Pallas is one of the pioneers in electronic art. Detroit Art Critic, Joy Colby once described Pallas as having the “tinkering genius of Henry Ford combined with the ironic wit of Marcel Duchamp.”
