Acrobatic Artist Bastien Dausse's Incredible Low-Gravity Invention - Core77

French acrobatic artist Bastien Dausse's work is "centered on (im)balance and the desire to play with gravity." To that end, Dausse co-founded a troupe, Compagnie Barks, whose performances are centered around gravity and the subversion of it. For their Moon performance, they use this impressive anti-gravity device he invented:

The object is calibrated to simulate lunar gravity, which is 1/6th the level of Earth's.

In the video below, you can see how he clicks into it. It's impressively low-tech.
