From BMW Museum in Munich. The kinetic sculpture consists of 714 ball bearings held up by string and moves to create some pretty cool 3D images.

There have to be in tubes or something. I'm not sure if this is what they say it is, it might be wires. The amount of energy if that is a 8' tall room is staggering.

According to some Google searches, this exhibit is at the BMW Museum in Munich, Germany and uses string or wire to manipulate each ball bearing.

I don't get it. How much energy is required to move a ball bearing on a string?

^My guess is that they had to have a nuclear reactor on-site.

That was my fault. The video originally said that the balls were being moved by a magnetic field. joedirt was referring to that and not the strings.
