Beetle sphere takes the vehicle’s iconic curves to the extreme. Responding to the car’s loaded political history and signature design, the work features the twentieth-century design classic warped into a sphere comprised of authentic and fabricated components. To avoid the damage involved in reshaping a real car, Noor carved a spherical polyurethane replica of the vehicle’s body and then cast it in aluminium. A separate spherical interior was produced and fit to the cast exterior. The resulting sculpture is augmented with original car parts by the manufacturer to complete the illusion.
neat!
Thank you ❤️
A physicist made this, didn’t they?
Edit: reference
Honestly I really need to know how they did this, like, is it an actual bug they crushed them added custom windows?? If so, how did they get it so smooth? Must be a metallic sculpture
And the paint?
Edit: @celeste@kbin.earth posted the How

Very weird, turns out I can see your profile by clicking it, but clicking a link to it shows no posts, must be a fediverse quirk
Very strange! They have replied to your comment with the link, but if you don’t see it this is the link:

you know how hard it to keep it from rolling? given there’s no friction
Seems like, in that case, it would just slide.

Valid source, but it a proper format, like APA or Chicago style.
I’ve never written any kind of paper outside of an intro level class, so I’m forced to assume you want something like

Very few people are lucky enough to see a beetle in its dehydrated state; this makes it easier for shipping, and usually the dealer will ‘unpack’ the beetle.
If you somehow receive a dehydrated beetle, just add water and it should unfold into the shape people are more familiar with (fair warning: make sure you do it outside, it’s a one time process)
Ah yes, the dung beetle’s preferred method of travel

I can’t remember of there’s multiple of these, but if not, I saw the same one in Vegas during an F1 event.
Why does this remind me of foot binding

Oh that’s what happened to my car when I got cutoff by that damn red monolith memes always talk about.
Interesting was it always like that or they crushed a car?
That’s what the Volkswagen Beetle looked like. It was very challenging to get in and out and you needed a bunch of chocks to secure it when parked.
Gotta catch 'em all!
