AMAZING kinetic sculpture

this is just absolutely amazing! the artistic design and engineering that has gone into this 'kinetische skulptor' is so hard to imagine. i couldn't post a video below but do check it out here - would absolutely love to see it in person.

it's a sculpture of 'form-finding' art with 714 metal spheres each individually controlled by stepper motors and hanging from thin steel wires. at first they move chaotically but then form beautiful controlled shapes. it's so peaceful to watch and quite transfixing!
