Jan 9 2008RPM-1200 Is Cool, Made Of, Get This -- Junk!
Japanese artist Enoki Chu made this fine looking piece of art entirely out of polished metal junk, including drill bits, machine parts, and others. The whole piece looks like a futuristic cityscape and has a diameter of 15 feet and stands 11 feet tall. So it's a pretty good size. It's titled RPM-1200, but I'm renaming it Do Not Sit Here. Because it would hurt if you did. Like real bad. Serious pain. In your rear. Sit on a foam donut for two weeks and sleep face down bad. Like nightmares of a skyscraper up your ass bad.
Two more pictures after the jump, including a closer-up one.

There's no way that thing's 11 feet tall. Pretty cool though. ; D

It has a 9 foot base it rests on.

maybe it's 2 feet tall but they used roman numerals. regardless, that looks pretty cool and definitely not comfortable for sitting.

It looks awesome. It is a good thing that he told me it wasn't a chair though. I thought about selling my couch and buying one for my living room.

they should have someone stand next to it (or maybe sit on it, whatever) so we'll all get an idea how really tall it is. looks cool.

they need to make it more awesome and add a robotic figure to trash to place up...

If you live in (or visit) Tokyo, this piece is currently on display at the remarkable Mori Art Museum. Well, for 4 more days. I saw it last week. One person at a time can walk through the middle and examine it. There were also spot lights casting the shadows on a wall.
