Metamechanics
Metamechanics has a specific meaning in relation to
art history, as a description of the
kinetic sculpture machines of
Jean Tinguely. It is also applied to, and may have its origins in, earlier work of the
Dada art movement.
Metamechanics or
meta-mechanics is applied in other contexts as a descriptive term for a
meta-level or abstract discussion of the
mechanics of some application or area. For example, in discussing
game design, a given game has its level of mechanics of manipulation of pieces, dice, cards and so on subject to rules; the meta-mechanics might be discussion of types of pieces, or types of rules.{{art-movement-stub}}
