Floating Earth
In the organizer's words:
It must be a magical moment when astronauts see the Earth as a whole from space. Everyone who has ever had the chance to experience this tells us so. Floating Earth gives visitors the unique opportunity to view our Earth in this way.
The art installation shows a huge three-dimensional image of the globe with a diameter of 10 meters. It floats on the water of the mesh pond as if it had fallen from the sky. As darkness falls, the installation begins to glow and shows us detailed representations of our continents, oceans and cloud formations. NASA provided the images for this.
This sensational work by British artist Luke Jerram enchants people around the globe. It invites us to take a new and perhaps different look at the world and encourages us to question our relationship with our planet.
Floating Earth shows the fragility and vulnerability of the planet. Jerram uses the so-called "Overview Effect" to do this. Unlike the moon, which we have always seen in the sky, NASA's Apollo 8 mission was the first moment in which the Earth was visible to humans as a precious and fragile blue sphere floating in space. This moment changed our relationship with Earth forever.
