Tomás Saraceno‘s M.O. as an artist is to make you be adrift — either on top of millions of yards of plastic , or inside of hexangular sky seedpod , or on top of an inflatable balloons . His latest Jules Verne - tinged installation , which opened today , is no different .
In Orbit , as the piece is call , took three years to contrive and build . The installment invites visitors to climb a circle run to reach a three - layered web of net that hangs 60 feet above the court of a museum in Germany . Up above the construction , they ’re welcome to lounge , explore , or dally withe a 12 gigantic PVC ball that litter the 75,000 - square - infantry canopy .
What ’s the compass point of this massive , floating instalment ( besides make fun ) ? Saraceno talks about his employment in terms of mote purgative and uranology . He describes his inflatable landscapes like they ’re building - sized models of physical phenomenon , including String theory , Planck shell , and space - time continuum . So give the name of this piece — In Orbit — it ’s easy to imagine it in terms of celestial body : slews of tiny humans floating through recondite space , interacting with inflatable planets as they go .
