apparently it's ripped off from an art installation which is really exists. those fuckin' ad men eh. is it cgi or real? that is the question. a mate told me that it's real and it took something like 600 takes to get right. i say bollox to that.

i was also wondering about the tires,
but if they put weights on top of them (on the inside)..
it could work....i really wanna know!!

yeah, maybe..
or both, filmed sequences put together by cgi..
would have been much easier than makin´ 600 takes.
someone should know?! but nice idea, isn´t it..

It is real. Took 606 takes to get working, but it did work.
There is an article about it in a paper.. which I'll find in a second..
and here it is:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=%2Fnews%2F2003% 2F04%2F13%2Fnhonda13.xml
At one point three tyres, amazingly, roll uphill. They do so because inside they have been weighted with bolts and screws which have been positioned with fingertip care so that the slightest kiss of kinetic energy pushes them over, onward and, yes, upward. During the pre-shoot set-ups, film assistants had to tiptoe round the set so as not to disturb the feather-sensitive superstructure of the arranged metalwork. The slightest tremor of an ill-judged hand could have undone hours of work.

indeed, it is completely based on a video called 'How things work" by swiss conceptual artists Fischli and Weiss. the pompidou center in paris has it in archive. I am still totally confused that this exists. A prime example of the cycle of avante garde production in late capitalism as regurgitated for a mass market.
sheridan: if you leave a browser up it will be ready ina bout 20 minutes.. just load it and go make some toast
Wow... awesome... I always wanted to deck my place up with various chain-of-events scenarios...
..course, I'd end up booby-trappin' myself...
Anyone remember Goonies?
Auto and his gadgets... Was that his name?
