Remember the sexy BMW GINA concept car I blogged about a while ago?
BMW has pulled another trick up its sleeve and came up with this. The BMW Kinetic Sculpture.
The project uses 714 metal balls that are individually suspended on barely visible strings, creating an seemingly weightless, amorphous mass. Each ball lowers and retracts independently, which allows them to approximate almost any form.
A behind the scenes look at the motors controlling this sculpture:
The installation moves through a cycle of classic and contemporary BMW car shapes from throughout the company’s 90-year history. In between cars, it goes through some impressive routines, showing the creation’s versatility.
Have a look at the video and be amazed!

Wonderful post, and I was thinking about a similar article which I will probably still write, but from a slightly different angle. Thanks for sharing this with your readers…I’m sure I’m not the only one who appreciates it.
