Hasta La Motion!

Remember that scene in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, when Harry decides to crush his opponent in an epic match of chess?! And shit is exploding and the chess pieces were large enough for Harry to piggyback them? Well, at Trafalgar Square in London, there’s an even craftier looking giant chess set sans the explosion and threat of death.  Artist-designer Jaime (pronounced Hi-may) Hayón was commissioned by the London Design Festival to create an interactive art piece at the square. Crafted in ceramic and on-top of a mosaic glass chess board, “The Tournament” is almost better than the Elixir of Life.
