My daughter and her family live in Grand Rapids Michigan. The city sponsors the Grand Rapids ArtPrize, a competition open to anyone to submit works of art to display in various venues (museums, businesses, halls, etc.). Prizes are awarded for various categories. Some REALLY BIG, like $200,000 big, and it is possible to win 2 of the $200,000 prize categories.
When my daughter and her family attended a few years ago, they said "Daddy could do this."
Well, now that I'm retired, I decided to give it a shot.
The piece is actually a clock. Seconds tick off with the rotation of the motor. The globe rotates once per hour and motion is visible with each tick of a second. A third wheel, just inside the equator, rotates once per day to display the hour.
All the entries:

If you are in Grand Rapids between September 21 and October 9, you might want to have a look, and I would appreciate your vote.
