Description:
Artists Peter Fischli and David Weiss build an elaborate Rube Goldberg machine from everyday objects inside a warehouse. Once started, a chain reaction unfolds through a series of inventive devices. Fire, water, gravity, and chemistry guide the objects' journey. The process explores themes of cause and effect, art and mechanics, and chance and precision in a prolonged, thought-provoking experiment.
