What is a mobile sculpture?

A mobile is a type of kinetic sculpture that is delicately balanced so that individual parts can move independently. The term "mobile" was coined by Marcel Duchamp to describe Calder's work. Mobiles are typically suspended from the ceiling and move with the air currents or touch.
