It’s hard not to fall into a hypnotic trance while staring at art student Yasutoki Kariya’s installation titled Asobi. The kinetic structure, whose name translates as “play” in Japanese, features a transference of light and motion from one end of a series of light bulbs to the other, á la Newton’s Cradle. The remarkably soothing audiovisual installation mimics the familiar pendulum desk toy with its form and movement, which happens to prove Newton’s third law that says for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. However, instead of watching a silver ball click against a series of other like-sized spheres hanging from a line of their own respective string, we’re offered a new, stimulating visual.

So sick
