Metropolis II
Posted by Fabio 15 January 2012
Metropolis II is an intense and a complex kinetic sculpture by Californian artist Chris Burden, modeled after a fast paced, frenetic modern city. Steel beams form an eclectic grid interwoven with an elaborate system of 18 roadways, including one 6 lane freeway, and HO scale train tracks. Miniature cars speed through the city at 240 scale miles per hour; every hour, the equivalent of approximately 100,000 cars circulate through the dense network of buildings. Currently exhibited at LACMA.
