  • ГЕНИЙ!

    КРАСОТА!

  • @xxnickeyxx1 its a kinetic sculpture?

  • @xxnickeyxx1 are you serious? its not a fucking magic light show made to trick you.

    The reason it's impressive is the fact that that fluid motion was created in real life, using carefully timed mechanics, 50,000 pieces and probably a lot of math. Erasing the "strings" would basically turn it into a computer simulation, (which probably would have been significantly easier for them to make)

  • so fake!! you can see the strings.... :( nut if you hade made more speial effect and remove the strings with your computer it would be better ;) nice show tough...

  • Mesmerizing and Ethereal. I would love to purchase the music. Could anyone credit the artist?

  • looks like window's wallpaper XDDD

    it's amazingly beautiful though i wonder if the motors make a loud noise

  • thousand nun chuck technique.

  • aww....strings

  • I like the innovation

  • this is a real animation!
