Later, I had the great opportunity to attend a talk by Eliasson at ETH Zurich. He demonstrated that he is very interested in our cultural landscapes, how they change and how we perceive them. <br /><br />I read that Eliasson also founded the Institut für Raumexperimente in Berlin in 2009, but unfortunately I don`t know any details about that.Olafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12625797479852511677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8216971263350849959.post-86644644507931677402010-04-28T15:38:05.944+02:002010-04-28T15:38:05.944+02:00I saw this exhibit at the tate modern in 04, it wa...I saw this exhibit at the tate modern in 04, it was really stunning.

IMO a neglected subject, the physical sciences will tell us only so much. I was a fine arts major in college before switching and have always enjoyed such accessible pieces like this that mix themes and disciplines and ask us hard questions.<br /><br />I have always had a negative reaction to the idea that we are an outside force acting on a pristine nature; we are part of it, though maybe a naughty and careless part;)isaacschumannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09085509323786384439noreply@blogger.com
