In 2010 my family and i were on tour (our term for vacationing) in Scandinavia, en route to Gothenburg, Sweden for the International Sociological Association Meetings. During our stay in Copenhagen I came across the work of Tomás Saraceno--internationally recognized architect and artist.
Saraceno's work melted my mind. He presented a possible future, grounded in a global complexity and ecology, exploring the usage of networks in three-dimensional form; along with other various organic-geometrical forms.
Recently, again, I saw his work, now in New York City at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where my brother Warren lives. WOW! I will definitely have to blog more on Saraceno's work and how it connects with the complexity art movement I have been blogging about. But, for now, I just wanted to get a post published on this guy.
Here are a few links to some of his work:
