By day, Dimitri Tischenko is a computer programmer. By night, he's a mad genius constructing impossibly complex geometrical sculptures using neodymium magnet spheres (like the popular Buckyballs or other brands available online).
The one above is titled 7-7 Tight Interlock Sphere, described by Dimitri as "two layered circles consisting of 7 balls ... too fragile to put down" to photograph.
Here are some of his fantastic creations:

I’m not sure I have the coordination to create a Lego sphere and I don’t know what I’d do with one once I made it. Bouncing or kicking it would be out of the question but it might make a nifty sculpture.
For the Adelaide Fringe Festival, a team of artists known as the Crateman Crew created this Katamari-esque sphere of milk crates:
The crate sphere was designed to be rolled down the street as the final act in the parade. Comprising of 688 milk crates and being over 4.5 meters high, it had an estimated weight of over 700 kilograms. It was hoped that upon seeing us struggle with the beast, members of the audience would join in, and help us roll the sphere to a glorious end!
Unfortunately the reality was somewhat different.
