8/7/2006: 50,000 balls in Aussie artwork
Put this in the "interesting art" category, and here's another thread title that sounds dirty but isn't. Here we have a work titled "Atomix -- Full of Love, Full of Wonder". Artist Nike Savvas (shown in the picture making final adjustments) is Australian, the installation is at the New South Wales Art Gallery. It represents the "shimmering outback" -- the colors come from the colors of the outback, and the balls are blown with fans so that they move a little bit in the wind. Nice work! I would like to see it in person. via MSNBC Week in Pics. |

"Now they know how many balls it takes to fill the Albert Hall..."

Try to walk through there without getting tea-bagged!
post option #2: "some balls are held for charity, and some for fancy dress, but when they're held for pleasure they're the balls that I like best"

When a cutle little art-chick touches 50,000 balls, everybody wins!

Great work! I don't think it would be near as interesting without the mirrors. Imagine it with black background, flourescent balls and black light. Now that would be 'shroomy.

I really like it.
I don't say that often about art.
