In the main space, a new body of work invites visitors to attune with bodies and forces on air. Encountered through a re-coding of color and temperature, Saraceno’s cloud and foam sculptures propose complex geometric systems of fractal color through which light illuminates in myriad constellations. From the nacreous glow of spider/webs, to the energetic heat evidenced by a star’s celestial color, the artist has long sought to make visible the spectral hues and synesthetic vectors that shape the cosmic web. A series of infrared photography suggests an era beyond the use of aerodynamics; here, temperature measurements rendered in colors reveal the thermodynamic vitality in the bodies of “lighter than air” aerosolar flight. In suspended sculpture, the allure of iridescence—the phenomena of luminous color produced by a particular intersection of light and viewing angle—becomes an allegory for a rapidly warming planet.
The front gallery features sculptures in tones that reference the Earth’s flora and fauna, reflecting seasonal difference and interspecies vernacularity. Developed in consultation with ornithologists and wildlife organizations, some of these sculptures can be placed outdoors providing functional habitats for a range of animals, as meditations on biodiversity and interspecies cohabitation. Their modular structures are inspired by cumulonimbus clouds and form part of Saraceno’s long-standing project Cloud Cities—a proposal for an alternative form of urbanism and assembly that might emerge when large cities are not only built from a human perspective. Ownership of these works requires an agreement of co-ownership and shared stewardship of the environment.
The exhibition will also feature Fly with Pacha, Into the Aerocene, a film that portrays the long-standing relationship between the artist, the Aerocene community he founded, and the Communities of Salinas Grandes and Laguna de Guayatayoc in Jujuy, Northern Argentina. The film documents the communities’ struggles to protect their land against industrial lithium mining, driven by the demand for batteries in the name of a so-called ‘green transition’. In reality, these efforts are depleting water resources in the region and contaminating the Earth. The film follows the 32 world record-breaking flight of an aerosolar balloon over the Salinas Grandes. Lifted only by the heat of the sun and carried along the rivers of the wind, Pacha was recognized as the most sustainable flight in human history by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI), carrying the message “Water and Life are Worth More than Lithium” written by the communities.
Visitors to the gallery’s reading room are invited to participate in a collective, inter-generational artwork for the benefit of the Communities of Salinas Grandes and Laguna de Guayatayoc. Renewing the practice of reading messages drawn in the sky through the phenomenon of pareidolia—the impulse that leads us to recognize significant patterns in ‘random’ information—visitors can draw upon cloudscapes and in turn become part of a community for the free circulation of water, information and life. A new signed Aerocene edition is also made available for purchase, the entire proceeds of which will support the communities’ ongoing legal and stewardship efforts. A final gallery will contain works that delve more deeply into Saraceno’s collaborative work with spiders. Beginning almost two decades ago, this project has led to the formation of Arachnophilia: an interdisciplinary, distributed and intercultural community that syncretizes artistic, scientific and situated knowledges through a shared affinity to spider/webs. This darkened gallery includes works woven in authorship by and with spiders that live alongside the artist at his studio in Berlin, Germany. By showcasing the meshwork of spider webs the artist hopes to encourage those who experience a fear of spiders (arachnophobia) to move toward a love and wonder of them (arachnophilia). More importantly, this ongoing exploration functions as both model and metaphor, celebrating extra-human technologies of sensing, and settlement, offering a more sensitive, collaborative way of life on Earth.

The traffic in Los Angeles was really bad, and it was blocked for more than an hour. We still line up like Shanghai Disney. There is no speed pass, and we can play all the projects in almost a day (except for the big roller coaster, I am afraid). We went on a weekday. At ten o&#39;clock, there was no queue of more than 25 points. That Mario restaurant, lightning-proof, don&#39;t go.

I went to Disneyland in California and had so much fun! It has two parks, Disneyland and Adventureland, with a wide variety of projects. The Star Wars Park is very technological, and the exciting roller coaster made my heart beat faster. The parade performance was super exciting, full of fairy tale atmosphere. The staff was also very enthusiastic and the service was very considerate, and the experience was full!

Griffith Observatory

学校🏫

Griffith Observatory: The junction of the Starry Sky and the Earth This art deco building, completed in 1935, is suspended on the Hollywood Hills like a giant astronomical instrument targeting the Los Angeles Basin. Free and open setting makes it the city&#39;s most generous viewing platform. Fu Ke in the main hall is the most philosophical. The brass hammers slowly deflect the trajectory of the star map floor, silently proving the physical facts of the earth&#39;s rotation. When the Tesla coils on the basement floor were performed, artificial lightning burst in the dome, turning the scientific demonstration into a modern witchcraft show. But the true souls are on the night rooftops when city lights spread like magma beneath their feet, and the visible galaxy hangs overhead, forming a barren war between heaven and man. It is recommended to arrive an hour before sunset. First look at the sun on the west terrace as the Hollywood sign is gilded, then line up in the dusk to touch the astronomical telescope. The couples in line, the photographers on tripods and the children counting stars cast overlapping silhouettes on the metal shell of the telescopeperhaps more worth observing than the celestial body itself. Don&#39;t forget to look back at the Greek theater-style dome when you leave, and the bronze statue of Einstein is smiling in the shadow of the porch, as if you already know all about human obsession with the universe.

The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles is magnificent in scale and the architectural design is easy to visit. There are many exhibition halls in the museum, and the content of the exhibition hall is different. [Fun] It is very interesting, and the history of dinosaur development and evolution is displayed here. [Cost-effective] very high. Such a huge exhibition hall is very good value for money.
