Over The Years I Have Seen Many Art Projects,

where the viewer can have a 'hands on' experience,


but given my fear of heights here is one that I think I will let pass me by, entitled On Space Time Foam, it is a floating structure composed of three levels of clear film that can be accessed by the public, this aerial installation can be explored while suspended several stories off the ground at HangarBiocca, a former industrial plant that was converted to an arts space in 2004, the work is by Argentinean architect and artist Tomás Saraceno,

Saraceno, who refers to himself as “living and working between and beyond planet Earth”, bases his work on themes such as the elimination of geographical, physical, behavioural and social barriers; the research into sustainable ways of life for humanity and the planet; the encounter and exchange among different disciplines and bodies of knowledge; the model of networking and sharing applied to all phases of the invention and execution of works and projects,

taking all of that as a given I still could not even think to walk on the masterpiece in case I fell through the plastic!
