                                    Dear Dale,

                                    This is my first entry to your very fine thread.

                                    @unknownuser said:

                                    The Dutch manufacturer Bolefloor offers a line of flooring composed of blades and curvaceous lines. Made of solid wood and raw, they dovetail with each other, traveled knots and imperfections, the ground component of wave patterns.

                                    I don't know how they can achieve that,..(and how that costs)!

                                          Sculpture by Janet Echelman

                                          "This newly completed sculpture commission by Janet Echelman, changes shape in the wind. 160 feet tall, the sculpture spans 300 feet and suspends over a three-lane highway roundabout on the Atlantic coastline in Porto, Portugal. It is credited as the first permanent monumental sculpture to incorporate fluid movement and is called "one of the truly significant public artworks in recent years" by Sculpture Magazine. The sculpture integrates the history of Porto, where a fishing village became an industrial area with smokestacks and tanks. The red and white stripe pattern of the smoke stack referencing elements continues into the sculptural net shape. The shape of the net mirrors the landscape below. The solid, unmoving forms on the ground accentuate the movement and changing forms in the air"

                                            I find it interesting the responses of the people in the video, as usually public art of this kind and scale evokes a lot of negative responses.
                                            I took a workshop with Christo http://christojeanneclaude.net/rf.shtml#
                                            when I was in art school, and it was an interesting insight into the thought process behind this style of artwork that almost becomes ongoing performance art. Below: Christo and Jean Claude "Running Fence"
