I'm not sure why this is called "kinetic art", but to me it looks like a very neat robot:

I really like the 'organic' motions that it makes, so lifelike . . .

I also looked it up and found this:

Yeah, iv`e seen them. They are awesome.

They are selling a little electronic device that you connect with your servos providing it with random twitches and blinks and thus, making them more lifelike.

Go to their site (http://www.micromagicsystems.com) and click at products and you will find it.

yes, that looks great. It is a lot of work for something that is not that important, that's why not many people do it....And that's one of the reasons it's so impressive  :D

I think the way those legs are machined is also very impressive ! beautifull  :)
