[TrinamicMC]

...operated by TRINAMIC PANdrive stepper motors :-)

[TheAllSeeingThumb]

Aw, dude! you can totaly see the wires! soooo fake!

[mistaacoleee]

It's a kinetic scuplture... The balls are supposed to be attached to wires so the motor can move them...

[86Corvus]

[Plane60]

Joyeux Noel !

[trakkaton]

Yeah, right, "BMW" and "Verantwortung" - next joke, please...

[cyborgtroy]

I don't think BMW count as amateurs

[tandokunogirl]

Thanks nexus01gr. I was the vid posted by peterbmw1. It was so cool. At one point it looked like a floating blanket. What great use of technology in an artful way.

[nexus01gr]

Just checked.

It is a real kinetic sculpture in the New BMW Museum in Munich.

(mental note, if in Munich...)

P.S. Germans were never famous for their pop music... just watch the other two BMW Museum related videos and you will see what I mean.

[tandokunogirl]

that was wicked. What are the orbs made out of (does anyone know)? Are they light or heavy?

The music doesn't seem to go with the flow.

[nexus01gr]

The mechatronic installation involves 714 metal balls moving in an interplay of mechanics, electronics and code. It covers an area of six square meters, featuring 714 aluminium balls hung with fine steel wires (an almost invisible 0.2 mm), each moved by individually computer-controlled stepper motors. The installation starts in a chaotic state, then compete with each other forms until it is finally to a final object.

(hit bmw-kinetic-sculpture on Google)

[eduardojosephe]

ahhh fuck soundtrack, looks like elevator music

[sv650touring]

The music reminds me of the background music in the adult mahjong games I used to play on Sega Saturn.

[bananasDoom]

omfg did none of you watch the whole thing ?? Just to let you all know i did and it is done by strings connected to the tops of the chrome balls if you think i am wrong go to 2:04 and you will c

[tomallan84]

The point is that it's a beautifully put together animated structure.

[Canongl23]

I liked the music and the art.  Still trying to figure out how they did it.

[gastardo]

The music is great

for raping people

[Farkeman]

ahahaha . wtf ?

[dotsfishflaps]

@gastardo how do you know that?

[patshmear10101]

yecch the midi music is a horrid choice

[airmikee99]

You consider that 70's porn music? Have any of you tweens ever seen a porn, or heard 70's porn music? Geniuses.

[ElektrischerApparat]

[DatGUEnvy]

[digzie1]

[vanpat1987]

[VliengWieng]

Awesome sculpture, but the 70s porno music didn't really fit..

[sverror]

The music is wonderful! What's with this people?

And the piece? It's marvelous!

[Adam031]

Have any one one of you people even called karim an " Islamic Arab " terrorist" ? He is " Islamic, Arab" but he is a great designer. What a man. what a brain!

Please send this information to all rat Muslim and Arab haters where ever they are around the globe. Peace.

[SweBigmac]

[bfayer]

[snit64]

Its so sad youtube has become a place where people try to fit as many cuss words and insults into a single comment.

[snit64]

[CornbreadandFebreeze]

[timmcneely]

Wow! Amazing. Very neat use of balls. I'd make this a stop if I was visiting,

[bigtard]

[nabby3445]

strings.. unimpresive :/

[nabby3445]

and that's impressive how? :D yhbt

[Elfad]

Sorry... but nothing worse than some one acting as he knows everything duh...

[Elfad]

GFUS

[Mizan215]

why is it called the kinetc sculpture then?? surely it should be called the gravitational sculputre, this is nice but, it's not amazing

[spasticsurgeon2009]

It's not gravitational. It's called kinetic because it is supposed to embody the great white albino lizard of the sea. BMW ROCKS

[SoldierSide77]

'great white albino lizard of the sea'? Dude, what have you been smoking? Share! Share!

[Cotdail]

Uh ah.

It's called "kinetic" simply because it moves.

[vee3eye]

expecting more from bmw..using strings n balls,many could do it as long as u have money n time..need no intelligent..

[davidstraetling]

looks like 3d, but using strings...

thougth it was magnetic-magic :/

[fewzebrank]

[SpartanGuy]

Using strings. :/

[4mirage4]

AMMMMMMMMMMAAZING!

are you sure it's not a 3D show!!?

[paulheyer]

no, it is real.

there are 714 steel globes, suspended on thin wires and moved by motors in the ceiling.
