Icarus
The elements rotate clockwise and anti-clockwise in a chaotic, seemingly random fashion - sometimes calmly, sometimes spinning wildly but interspersed with passages of calm. Mesmerising.
Wall hung (and switched by a remote sensing device so it only turns when there is a person present), Icarus exploits the power of modern rare-earth (neodymium) magnets to attract and repel. Powered by 230v synchronous motor working through a gearbox.
See it move on this (poor, sorry) YouTube link:
