Literature:
For the 1968 Hanover Trade Fair, Becker designed three large kinetic mirror balls that visitors could set in motion. This smaller version is electrified and causes the ball to rotate asymmetrically according to a random principle. Cf. Hildegard Becker, Friedrich Becker, Schmuck.Kinetik.Objekt, Stuttgart 1997, p. 242.
