Argentinian artist Tomas Saraceno goes beyond the traditional conceptions of place, time, gravity and our familiar notions of architecture. Saraceno is an artist and architect whos visions for cities floating in the air have led him to create a series of experimental structures such as balloons or inflatable modular platforms that can be inhabited and exploit natural energies. Any of his objects is an invitation to think about alternative knowledge, about emotions and the interaction with others. They invite you to participate, like Poetic Cosmos Of The Breath (pictured above), an experimental solar dome, which was part of The Arts Catalyst’s 2nd International Artists Airshow.
At dawn, crowds formed around a giant and colorful, circular foil, pinned to the ground at the edges with sand bags. Throughout the morning, the artist and his team gradually filled the foil with air and visitors could walk through this stunning colored wonderland.

I wonder is there was some increase in saturation in post, but I just love the colors.
“alternative knowledge” is kind of a lovely idea.
Wow! That is so incredible!
Amazing 🙂 So inspiring thanks 🙂
My time was 3:21; a little hard than I thguoht! But then again, I seem to usually get around 3:20 for all of them. They are definitely fun. Enjoy your Sunday! I gotta get back to some critiquing for my CP.
Beautiful pictures of Saraceno’s work!
I have found this nice interview with him recently on this link:
