This work
by sculptor and musician Bradley N. Litwin, of Philadelphia, is called “The Octapult.” In his words:

With 8 synchronized catapults, 160 plastic balls per minute are launched, caught, and recirculated. Made mostly of wood, the work is ~36 inches in diameter. On permanent display in the lobby of Lower Merion Elementary School, Merion Station, PA.
