Here’s hoping you still have your Hot Wheels cars!
“California artist Chris Burden has now built the “Hot Wheels track of epic proportions,” says MAKE magazine in their most recent issue. Burden’s astounding sculpture Metropolis II is a cityscape that allows 1,100 toy cars to blaze down 18 lanes of freeways equipped with endless loops. Chief engineer Zak Cook, Burden and ten assistants built this magnificent track in four years at his Topanga Canyon studio.”
