⟶ To honour Physician, Edme Mariotte, we built the World’s biggest Newtons Cradle based on solid, full chrome spheres attached to a stainless steel structure. Through the sheer weight and the way it’s built, sound created by colliding spheres creates a high frequency, lingering tone which fills the space the sculpture occupies. The emerging sound waves are quite memorable and directly unique to this construct.
