    A short doc about a kinetic sculpture that took four years to build. Filmed over 3 days in Chris Burden's studio before it was moved to the Los Angeles Country Museum of Art (LACMA) where it is being reinstalled.

    The installation opens fall 2011.

    Isn't this the guy who gained fame by subjecting himself to live gunshot wounds onstage, etc. ? The sculpture looks cool, regardless...
