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.

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

you can see that she looooooooves the balls

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"

I think Flint wins with AC/DC.

"ball-sucker! ball-sucker! ball-sucker! ball-sucker!"

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

Cool!

Oh, wow...spatially-oriented pixels! That is frickin' brilliant.

Not being a baseball fan, it would have been even better if it was all pucks!

Puckin' brilliant then.

That is exactly what it looks like when you chow ten grams of shrooms.

That is awesome.

I'm there.

Where are the pigeons when you need 'em? :rolleyes:

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. :thumb:

I really like it.

I don't say that often about art.

ditto - now I think I should go and get myself checked out.

That's a really good installation.

I wonder if they would let me in if I showed up with a tennis racquet?

I like that glatt, but looking through the pictures, I definitely like it better outside.
I wonder what UT's would look like outside where you could see scenery, background, distance, through it? :juggle:
