This model of the big city takes me back to my Sunday afternoons spent at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago where I would be mesmerized by their miniature train set, housed in a gigantic room on the first floor. The Chicago museum was a storehouse of models both small like the train set or Colleen Moore's Doll House, or gigantic, like the model of a human heart you could walk into and hear the heart running.
In my video of the Burden sculpture you can see the pulsating Metropolis, and also the deus ex machina, tenderly watching over the apparatus.
