So, a few members found this rolling-ball kinetic sculpture from “Eddie’s Mind” at a local McDonald’s and I just had to take a peek.

Rolling Ball Kinetic Sculpture, First Impression

The truth is: it’s fascinating.  If this weren’t at a McDonald’s, I’d be here almost every day.  The track is set up in such a way that the balls hit switches on their way down, which alters the path of the next ball to follow.  The large, white bongos that you see in the lower center of the pic are only triggered about once every 4 minutes.  This sculpture really is a marvel.

I also needed to test out my camera to see what kind of video it would take, and I must say that I’m moderately impressed….
