Tomas Saraceno is an artist from Argentina who explores inflatable art. He creates art in the air & works with gravity. He bases some of his work on photos he has taken of scenery in Bolivia, where the water behind him blends with the sky to look like he is standing in mid air. His creations are amazing & get my attention..although he is making art I cant help to admire his architectural abilities. By looking at his work I get a sense of the amount of research he has done, many of his pieces explore a different aspect of life, species, territory, community or system.

32SW stay green/Flying Garden/Air-Port-City
The building this was set up in had electrical cables connected to solar panels facing existing light sources. The electricity generated through this web of cables, receivers, and generators were able to grow the grass inside 32SW stay green/Flying Garden/Air-Port-City. The piece is a self-sustainable greenhouse equipped with an irrigation system that waters a cluster of inflatable spheres.
