Metropolis II: Chris Burden's Elaborate "Portrait of L.A." (with Hot Wheels)

Metropolis II, is an elaborate interconnected system of tracks for some 1,200 Hot Wheels cars. The noise is impressive.

The artist Chris Burden might be better known for putting his body through hell than for building complex interconnected systems, but his mechanical sculpture work has quite a history. His new work, Metropolis II, is an elaborate interconnected system of tracks for some 1,200 Hot Wheels cars. The noise is impressive.

If you're in Los Angeles, you'll be able to see Metropolis II at LACMA, though it apparently takes a few months to install it.
