Found a fantastic little trap today made by Chris Burden in 1985. The work was called 'Samson'. It was a 100ton jack that pushed the load bearing walls of the building out and way activated by a turnstyle that was turned by every visitor who wanted to visit the installation. The eddect of this was moderated through a gear box which made the movement of the jack imperceptible. This way it was unlikely to ever collapse the building, but the potential was still there.
