Reading Response

Shanken presents a plethora of vibrant artworks within pages 54-78, and the one that I want to talk about is titled "The Weather Project" by Eliasson (2003-04).  It looks like a mysterious scene from a sci-fi film.  In actuality, is comprised of a mirror ceiling, mono-frequency lamps, and mist.

The Weather Project


The result truly looks like a landscape, perhaps in an industrial city, or something from the sci-fi show "Firefly".    
I really feel like this is something you have to experience in person to understand it fully.  Anyone been there?
