"Ballman" Made of 3,000 Soccer Balls (5 pics)

To celebrate the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Nike commissioned this giant sculpture made of 3,000 soccer balls at a shopping center in Johannesburg, South Africa. The balls are suspended on steel wire ropes giving the illusion that "Ballman" is floating in mid-air. The sculpture will stay in place for the whole World Cup tournament, and when dismantled, the balls will be given away.

This has to be the coolest exhibit I've seen in a long time. The scale is so impressive.
