An aluminium structure that vaguely resembles a slide with an aluminium box on top of it. The box continuesly tries to climb to the top of the structure but is simultaneously dragged downward by a motor attached to the structure. It sometimes seems to stay completely still, sometimes slides downwards and sometimes manages to move updwards just to be dragged down again. The effort to progress remains invisible to a spectator.
