Looking for the name/info of an installation from Metropolis

There was a dome about 50-100ft outside of Root Society that was controlled by a gerbil ball with presumably a Wii controller in it. As the ball was passed around the dome, it triggered various sensors that contributed to visual and aural shifts. Does anybody know what I am talking about?

It wasn't part of Root. It was it's own installation.

if it was that close to them they should know what it was, no?

Good thought. If nothing else turns up then I'll give them a holler.

If you are refering to the large sphere that had flame effects, that would be PYROSPHERE.

the pyrosphere sounds nothing like what the OP described.

Not the pyrosphere. This was a bit more hidden. I wish I could remember what direction is was in but I think it was past Root, on the way to the deep playa.

He's talking about the Seizure Dome. I forget the name of the artist/crew that did it, but they're out of NYC.

Grand Mal is the official name it seems.

This is their info.

The video doesn't do it any justice at all. I was in there for a good half hour, & basically had to be peeled out of there.

This was their site, but it's down at the moment -

im calling PETA AND the ASPCA.

unless that was a gerbil that was grandfathered in because it belonged to someone in DPW.
