VIDEO: Magnetic/magic ball display
Everyone should have this much fun at work
Getting old involves the loss of many things. Hair, joy and your mind are among the most unbearable yet, quite often, "being able to jump into a ball pit" gets all-too-easily forgotten about.
When the members of Physalia Studio were asked to design something under the banner of 'happy', they remembered this fact and concocted a rather magnificent idea.
Using those eternally satisfying plastic balls and a scrapyard-dwelling magnet machine, they created an electromagnetic field that caused an awesome ripple of colourful activity.
The project was for the F5 Re: Play Fest (http://f5fest.com/) in NYC (you know the one, right?) but the video footage has managed to cause general happiness all-round.
If this doesn't cause a smile then we're giving up on you.
