Giant molecules

This project was conceived by Tobias Rehberger, designed and fabricated by Machine Shop Special Effects.

I worked on the wiring and helped with the final installation.

I can't upload this without mentioning how Steve Loible put around fifty billion hours of hard work into this one.

TIG welding by Myles Maloney.

This remains one of the most insane wiring projects I've ever worked on - the molecules were difficult to orientate but needed constant rotation to wire up, the molecules involved different types with different amounts of spheres, and there was a three dimensional "travelling salesman" geometric issue to constantly get your head around to try and wire everything up as efficiently as possible.
