Yaacov Agam is a renowned Israeli artist known for his pioneering work in kinetic art. His art often incorporates light, sound, and viewer participation, creating a unique sensory experience. Agam's most famous series, the "Agamographs," are painted strips that appear to shift and oscillate as viewers alter their points of view. He has also produced public commissions, including the world's largest menorah and the Star of Peace for Ben-Gurion University. Agam's work is celebrated for its transformative potential and encourages viewers to reflect on artistic creation and the spiritual values of society.

Agam's work is usually abstract, kinetic art, with movement, viewer participation and frequent use of light and sound. His works are placed in many public places. His best-known pieces include Double Metamorphosis III (1965), Visual Music Orchestration (1989), the fountain at the La Défense district in Paris (1975) and the Fire and Water Fountain in the Dizengoff Square in Tel Aviv (1986). He is also known for a type of print known as an "Agamograph", which uses barrier-grid animation to present radically different images, depending on the angle from which it is viewed. The lenticular technique was executed in large scale in the 30 ft (9.1 m) square "Complex Vision" (1969), mounted on the facade of the Callahan Eye Foundation Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama.
