Lost your marbles?

Lost your marbles?

Collaborative marble run

I wanted to create an interactive sculpture that would encourage collaboration. The goal is simple: get the marble from the top of the run to the bottom by only touching the black handles. I liked the project as a study of human behavior: would people try to do the whole thing by themselves? At what point would they ask for help? (for some, never) Would they get frustrated and cheat? (for some, almost immediately) Who would enforce the rules? (usually me)
