Artist #8

Mariko Mori
Wave UFO

By far the coolest looking thing ever. If concept cars were ever looking for a building block on wear to start on making a flying car/rv this should be it. I'd buy one most definitely. This artist goes by Mariko Mori. This art piece is called Wave UFO it is a sculptural object and viewer participatory installation that epitomizes Mariko Mori's ongoing exploration of the relationship between the individual and an interconnected cosmos. On the outside it's shaped like a drop of water and appears to hover off of the ground. Inside you are presented to a video that is mainly based upon the participants that are within the UFO. It uses our brainwaves to create imagery.
This is a first that I've ever heard this done and only wish I could go see it to see what is actually being shown on the projection screens. Like is it mood or what? I would like to participate is all that I do know. Interesting the artist is trying to combine otherworldly concepts, as in she wants us to connect with different ways of thinking.
