Watching a Lego Sisyphus Perpetually Push a Boulder Is Unimaginably Relaxing

Inspired by a Disney Research project that automatically calculates all the gears and mechanical links needed to create realistic motion in an animated figure, Jason Allemann of JK Brickworks created this incredibly lifelike kinetic sculpture of the tragic Greek figure, Sisyphus, using Lego.

  The video of Sisyphus in motion is mesmerizing, and a surprisingly effective way to relax.
