"Metropolis II"

"Metropolis II" is a kinetic sculpture created by artist Chris Burden, designed to simulate a bustling urban environment. It features a miniature cityscape with thousands of toy cars that travel along a complex track system, representing the flow of traffic in a modern metropolis. The installation highlights themes of urbanization, infrastructure, and the dynamics of city life. When operational, the cars navigate through various levels and intersections, creating a vibrant, dynamic scene that reflects the energy and chaos of a real city, inviting viewers to consider the nature of urban living and transportation systems.
