M2B - Beijing, Nov 2011

M2B is a mobile urban sculpture that is riding around the streets of Beijing since April 2011. It was created by Niko de La Faye.
This unconventional art piece is a representation of the Universe placed on a traditional Chinese tricycle. The voluminous load on the back of the bike is a mechanism using both Eastern and Western references to create a model of the cosmos - the cubic structure, and its eight balls, illustrate the Taoist bagua, and the animated elements inside recall the very graphical 'theory of everything' elaborated by American Physicist Garrett Lisi.
