Take The Green Pill
Möbius is a large-scale sculpture at Fed Square that you can participate in. Constructed by design firm eness, Möbius consists of twenty-one large geometric shapes that will be moved by the public over two weeks to create an incredible time-lapse animation. It is estimated that between five and ten thousand movements will be needed to create an animation, which will then be screened on Fed Square’s big screen. So what are you waiting for? Get moving.
Where: Fed Square
When: Now until May 20
Mon – Thurs 11am – 5pm, Fri 7:30am – 9:30pm
