Gravity Kid's costume seems to me to be a tribute to the Legion costumes of the 70's. Also, he has odd hair.

Temple of Gravity by: Zachary Coffin from: Alameda, CA year: 2017
Gravity is a central component of all of Zachary Coffin’s massive, larger-than-life interactive kinetic sculptures and the only force that he believes he can truly have faith in. In 2003, Zachary Coffin built the Temple of Gravity as an expression of the year’s Burning Man theme – Beyond Belief – and this year, we’re bringing the massive 180,000 pound sculpture back for Radical Ritual. The Temple of Gravity is a 60-foot diameter steel dome with 5 arms, each arm supports a suspended granite stone slab (which weighs ~15,000 pounds) and is anchored by a granite base slab.

"Gravity":
(6*(1+2))*(1+6)*20 = 2520
Small tetrahedral object:
(6*(1+2))*4 = 72
2520 + 72 = 2592 = 12^3 + 4*6^3
I set out to construct this object by seeing what the largest number of 2-layer hexagons I could use for the faces of an icosahedron was with my current magnet count. That turns out to be 7, which can be arranged nicely with one in the middle and 6 around it. I then played around with various ways of folding those larger hexagons up, and arrived at this.
It holds together reasonably well, but gravity pulls it down so that it's a bit squat when sitting on the table.
In other news, the pictures I took a few days ago of the soft truncated dodecahedron I made a video of didn't turn out, since the camera was unexpectedly in fixed focus mode. I might remake it some time if people would like to see some better pictures of it.
Now that flickr lets free accounts upload video, I'll share some of mine :) This is a quick clip of Buddhabrot orbits animated with gravity. Enjoy!
I fell again.
Like a baby unable to stand on my own.
Tail in hand
Dizzy and clearly unable to just let this go.
I am surrendering to the gravity and the unknown.
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun.
Calm these hands before they
Snare another pill and
Drive another nail down another
Needy hole please release me.
Help me survive the bottom.

This photo was taken using two ping-pong balls. I dropped three balls at the same time. The speed of falling balls isn't too fast , so I used about 1/125 shutter speed and ISO 400. This point of this picture is that all three balls have different length ( or shape), which means the balls fell in different speed. What I missed was the shadow on the bottom of wall. I wasn't aware of shadows of myself and camera. I also tried to make my fingers in focus, and motion blur on the balls, but everything went blurred.
Gravity is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down
Oh gravity, stay the hell away from me
Just keep me where the light is
C'mon keep me where the light is
Gravity - John Mayer
Simple and Meaningful song.
One of my favorite song and artist too, sad to say I and Chief didn't get a chance to watch his concert here in Manila, well there's always a "next time" :)

I have long been a fan of the photography of Miss Aniela, especially her levitation photos. This is my first attempt at creating something similar. I can see areas where I need to improve, but I think this is a decent first try.

Exposed on Ilford FP4+ with a Minolta SRT-101 + 58/1.4 lens; developed in HC-110.
Built in 1929 and served as Gravity's high school until the 1960's, when enrollment declines dictated a merger with the school system in nearby Bedford. Classes (presumably in the elementary grades) continued until the end of the 1981-1982 school year. The building is now privately owned and appears to be well-maintained.
