Edible Marbles: Documentaries About Things We Own
A short-documentary archive explaining how ordinary objects, money, and physical systems work through one clear idea and a concrete object.
Field notes
The project divides its films into “How It Works,” which follows a physical problem through one object, and “Money Illusions,” which traces money as a historical promise. The homepage lists episodes running 9:27 and 9:18, including a guitar-body story centered on a 1932 development and a money episode reaching back 2,500 years before the first coin. A shop extends each film into posters and a shirt, while an RSS feed and one-email-per-film list support ongoing releases.
