This has got to be an art piece, right?

There doesn't seem to be a way in the world the chain does that without being affixed to the upper cog wheels, rendering the thing useless

it's on a small cog fixed to a solid axle to spin the gears on the other side. there's a through-axle every time it switches sides to a new crankset, each crankset is only driving a small loop of chain.

some background. It is an art piece but not in the way you're thinking
