Tinguely built iconic kinetic sculptures using industrial materials and mechanical motors that produced movement, sound, and light, directly paralleling the automated and electromechanical qualities of this piece. His machines similarly merged technology with sculptural form to create time based experiences that unfold through mechanical action.

Hirst works in a similar contemporary conceptual vein to Cattelan, often incorporating industrial and mechanized elements such as spinning canvases and automated devices into sculptures that provoke thought about time, mortality, and systems. His integration of motors and industrial materials into gallery sculpture shares the same conceptual and material language as this work.

Horn creates kinetic installations that combine electric motors, metal components, and programmed movement to produce poetic and often unsettling mechanical performances, closely mirroring the automated and interactive nature of this piece. Her use of bells, lights, and computer driven systems in kinetic sculpture is especially aligned with the specific material and technological components present here.
