The project uses 714 metal balls that are individually suspended one barely visible strings, creating an seemingly weightless, amorphous mass. Each ball lowers and retracts independently, which allows them to approximate almost any form.

here's the company that made the display

That was pretty cool, I wonder what it does in an earthquake though.

its in Germany
they dont really get earthquakes over a .33
anything under a 2.5 isnt even noticeable




Germany

and even then its just a bunch of metal balls on strings... worse case scenario everything starts swinging and the whole shit gets tangled... not really a big deal

It's incredible. They didn't let you bring cameras inside though.
