The sculpture court is the shell of an industrial building flanked on two sides by remaining buildings. On the floor of this concrete shell, a grid of dirt squares remain tracing the building's absent wooden support beams. This grid is used to determine the number and location of boxes used: 31. Contained in each box is a motorized two-wheeled vehicle tethered by a cable/power line to horizontal cables extending between the two flanking buildings (210 inches above the sculpture court floor). The horizontal cables are connected to power and an on/off switch. When the viewer activates the switch, all 31 vehicles start in unison.
