Sisyphus, a daring and clever king who outwitted the gods on many occasions, is sentenced by Zeus to the absurd and eternal fate of pushing a boulder uphill only to have it roll back down. The Nerve Tank\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s interactive encounter with this story features a 6 1\/2-foot metal sphere pushed along the Plaza, overseen by a dancing Persephone, Queen of the Underworld. Sisyphus\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 labor is to play the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153boulder\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in narrative order, which is filled with technology that triggers audio and video fragments as it moves. The task is impossible, yet he&#8217;s forced to keep going \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and through his punishment he celebrates his stubborn pride.<\/p>\n<p>Conception: Chance D.
