Chris Burden’s ‘Metropolis II’ on view at LACMA - The L.A. Times writes: “Some artworks are valuable or delicate enough to need extra security. Chris Burden’s new art installation, “Metropolis II,” is complex enough to need an operator. The miniature city in motion consists of 1,100 Hot Wheels-sized cars, 25 large buildings, 18 lanes of traffic, 13 trains and one human operator. Lead engineer Zak Cook described the work’s complexity during its trial run, covered by the L.A. Times last week.” Plenty of footage popping up here, and a good one here.
