a mechatronic data sculpture made up of 714 metal balls that translates a virtual design process into the space around it. seemingly weightless, the kinetic sculpture moves through a cycle of free abstractions and typical BMW vehicle forms.

watch a high-rez movie here or the YouTube version after the break.

beautiful, if it wouldn't be for something as profane as a BMW car

The music on the YouTube video is killing me. Hope no one comes along and starts swinging all the balls getting them twisted up.

Yeah, it was better, silent.

wow, this was a beautifull video. While watching it i feel like i was playing with those bolls.
