What is it about watching marbles roll down elaborate tracks that’s so entertaining? Are we so simple? Apparently yes! Just look at this huge contraption made out of over 4000 popsicle sticks!
Featuring about 66 various tracks, 120 entrances and 11 exits, Life is a sculpture that uses gravity to get a bunch of marbles from the top of the 1.5m tall structure down to the bottom.
There’s an explanation behind it about how the marbles represent life and so on and so forth, but what it really says about life is that we’re all easily entertained. I guess it could be worse. [Life]
