An Online Compendium of
Rolling Ball Sculptures, Clocks, Etc.
By David M. MacMillan et. al.
This Gravitram was created by Shab Levy and installed in the University Museum in Porto Alegre, Brazil in 1995. It measures 120" x 120" x 160" and uses 4" plastic balls.
Levy says of it that "[this] largest and most complex Gravitram was built for a museum in Brazil ... It is approximately 15' tall and 12' in diameter. It is controlled by the visitor through a computer console allowing different gates and tricks to operate according to visitors' input. It was shipped from Portland to Brazil in one single piece in a full size container.
The following image of this Gravitram appears through the courtesy of the sculptor, Shab Levy.
