Chris Burden kinetic sculpture portrays a futuristic city, populated by fast moving vehicles on transparent roads, certainly reminds me of Fritz Lang Metropolis film. From the energy, caos and apparent order Burden built an impressive piece of art, an evocation to our preferred way of living – in cities – and as more than half of todays world population lives in cities, with it’s energy, stress, order, caos and problems. I can imagine that the next years and century will prove key on how these artificial agglomerates can work in sustainable, healthy and attractive ways to their inhabitants, wouldn’t you agree?
