Some kind of tree tensegrity stunt.

A tensile structure is a construction of elements carrying only tension and no compression or bending. The term tensile should not be confused with tensegrity, which is a structural form with both tension and compression elements. Tensile structures are the most common type of thin-shell structures.

The Puzzling Place World of Illusion has many fun, if tired-looking, optical illusions to explore and interact with, including an "Anti-gravity Room", an Ames Room, a Hologram Gallery and and an "Eyelusions Exhibition".

 

This simple yet intriguing exhibit caught my attention as the largest object seems to float in space due to balance of forces acting upon it.

 

What is tensegrity?

 

"The word 'tensegrity' is an invention: a contraction of 'tensional integrity.' Tensegrity describes a structural-relationship principle in which structural shape is guarenteed by the finitely closed, comprehensively continuous, tensional behaviors of the system and not by the discontinuous and exclusively local compressional member behaviors. Tensegrity provides the ability to yield increasingly without ultimately breaking or coming asunder"
