Art and reality dialog














Right: Your blind passanger, 2010, by Olafur Eliasson
Left: Tai-Chi in a fog day in China

I just found out the installation, right picture, of the artist Olafur Eliasson. The "installation is a 90-meter-long densely fogged tunnel in which museumgoers are forced to use senses other than sight to navigate and orient themselves within the space."
I instantly remember the left picture I have saved some months ago, unfortunately I do not remember the site, of Chinese people doing Tai-Chi in a fog day.
According to Olafur Eliasson:
“For me Utopia is tied to our ‘now’, to the moment between one second and the next. It constitutes a potential that is actualized and transformed into reality; an opening where concepts such as subject and object, inside and outside, proximity and distance are thrown up in the air only to be defined anew. Our sense of orientation is challenged, and the coordinates of our spaces, collective and personal, have to be renegotiated. Mutability and motion lie at the core of Utopia.” Olafur Eliasson
Would you prefer to do Tai-Chi. go to the museum and cross the 90 meters installation or do both?

Balloons and the mind of the beholder












Balloons at the sky is an image that is known all over the world as a celebration of a happy occasion and at the moment someone looks at the sky and find them out it will be a brief moment of joy.
In June, 18 2010 balloons released into the sky by a kindergarten sparked a security alert when the country's military mistook the formation for parachuting North Koreans.
The left picture by Photolibrary was published at The Telegraph telling the story. (read it here)
Sometimes we mistake some images, for the good or for the evil, according to our mood and thoughts. I hope today you see a lot of good images. What a better day for balloons than Sundays?
