Mova Scholar Globe

Mova is a globe production company that believes the globe to be superior to flat maps because they better represent the Earth in form (-movaglobes.com). The globe provides a more complete spatial understanding of the Earth, an idea that Mova takes further by using light-activated technology to incite the globe to spin on it's own similar to how the Earth does under gravitational pull. A clear outer casing covers the globe while a thin liquid suspends it just enough to achieve this effect consistently, on and off the tripod. One is left to observe the Earth as it appears in space except in their own home and even their own hands.
